RE: Can't find a good plane
Firestar, there are two clubs in your area, neither are very close. I grew up in Old Tappan, not too far from Washinton Township. My dad, brothers and I belonged to R/C-R/C (Rockland County Radio Club) They have a very nice field on Rt 303 just south of the NY Thruway. The other club is down near Teaneck.
I just did a quick look and found one in Saddle River too.
