Carrellh, Sorry bout the reciever not an option[&o] but as I said this stuff is all at least 10 yrs old anyway, I'd really rather see newer more dependable equipment go into a beginners plane so he/she doesn't start off under the 8-ball. I'm sure by the time you get that far in the build, & we have a worthy recipient someone will step up, & it will come together.
As far as the engine goes, if you decide your more comfortable with a .46, that's fine too & I am still more than willing to chip in towards the price of a new reliable one. Like I said earlier, $ 5 a piece for about 25 of us wouldn't hurt a bit. We all waste more than that every day on fast food or something! So when the time comes just let me know what you need from me & I'm in like "Johnny-on-the-spot"!
