Long time reader but first post.
Jim I have just got back to flying myself after a 7 year down time.
I went and order a SPAD and had friend with a trainer box go up with me the first few times. I think you will be amazed how quickly you get back into it. Just need to get rid of the dumb thumbs,
The reason for the SPAD = Cheap, fly well and easy repairs almost indestructible.


Here is a link to where I ordered it [link=http://www.twistedmetalfab.com/cart/]SPADs[/link]
