My instructor has told me that I need four pieces of equipment (I am a newbie). He said I need a field charger, a buddy box (I use a Futaba 6 channel EXA computer radio), some sort of contraption that you stick in the ground and it keeps the plane from moving forward when the engine is running, and a timer (twice today we flew the plane - a Sig Kadet LT-40 - at almost full power for the entire flight - we were doing aerobatics - and we ran the tank dry. [sm=spinnyeyes.gif]Once we deadsticked back to the field [sm=thumbup.gif]and the second time we had to put it down at very low speed and deadstick in some tall grass next to the field [sm=thumbdown.gif]- no damage[sm=biggrin.gif]). What brands, models, suppliers, etc. would you recommend? [sm=idea.gif]

As always, thanks everyone for the help.
