Ok coomarlin I think i may buy pretty much waht you suggested, but I have heard bad thinkg about JR radios. What is the best brand of radio, and are all fubata 6 chanel radios computerized? I am looking at the Avistar 40, but what is the difference between the one with monokote and the MKII? Also, I havent had a look at engines so are there any brands to aviod or any which are quite good?

Thanks
