Hey guys, thanks for the excellent advise! The hanger 9 260 does look like a good one! I have their Cessna 182 and it's a fine plane. As far as the gas engines go, I agree that gas is the way to go. Thanks for taking the time to write such as detail reply! I sure have learn several new things! Unforturately, our club restricks the use of gas engines during most of the year due to fire hazards. I ended up with a Saito 180 in my Cessna instead of a Zenoah as I would have prefered. I'm open for any other suggestion on which plane and make to go with. I have been looking over the H9 260 and the goldburg Extra 330. I may have to go with the gas engine, fly the 3d in the winter and early spring and fly my scale planes the rest of the year.
