Join AMA, a club and GET AN INSTRUCTOR!!

New batteries YES.

New Radio maybe....does it have a Gold sticker on the back?....(that old radio may be illegal in the US). You can get a new computer radio as cheap as $189 (Look at Hitec).

My first kit was a glider, but I think the SIG Kadet senior or LT-40 might be good starter kits for trainers. About any trainer kit will be a good starter. Your INSTRUCTOR will be able to help with build questions, radio selection and training. Remember to get an instructor.

That engine should run fine...I did the same thing (12 yrs in the attic). But be warned that if it is a bushing type engine, it will die within 3-5 gallons of fuel...which, for the price, ain't that bad.


Enjoy this GREAT hobby...and GET AN INSTRUCTOR!!
