Thank you all for your information!

MikeEast, I love to be a kid at heart. Why else play with toys like these?

Anyway, I guess joining a club really does sound like a necessity. I was hoping to just grab everything I needed (thanks for the list elenasgrumpy, I couldn't figure out the proper equipment by browsing a towerhobbies catalog), head out to a park, break in the engine, get up in the air, and try to teach myself to land. On the same note, is there such a thing as surviving 'oops' landings? Like, I blast it, dive bomb style, into the ground? Well, probably not that bad, but say 45 degree into the ground?

Will take a look into the links you guys provided (thanks again), head out to a LHS to just look around at prices (and get truck parts), and think about it (see if I still have the same strong urge in a week or so).


And BTW about the 'mystery' plane, I don't think it was either. It was black (pft, anyone can change the color), but the shape, I thought, was different. It was not a true triangle shape, but the bottom is angled in, similar to a boomerang. And I don't think I saw any landing gear? [&:] I won't die if I don't know what it is, so you don't have to kill yourself over it, although it can be a (fun?) game.
