ya it is... the covering has taken on a beige color... the servos are. futaba fp-s148 and it has a futaba fp-r127df reciever... a brand new os .40 la blue engine... and a master airscrew prop. their is also alot of damage to the covering on the tail... their is packing tape over the holes... will the tape hold?
covering may be OK, hard to tell from here. Same with the packing tape, you have to decide how well it is holding. I've seen it hold for years or blow off in hours if not put on a clean surface. S148 servos are fine and that model JUST went out of production and I fly several, they are good FM RX's. Engine isn't anything to brag about but it is new and will do the job. Prop should be approx 10x6 or 10x5 in size, you didn't mention size. MCster Airscrew is good for training as they will take a beating. AVOID wood props for training, they break too easy. Do a pull test on all hinges to make sure still solid in plane and check entire plane for structural damage.

FIND A CLUB AND INSTRUCTOR PLEEEEZE.........

There are a lot of clubs in the Houston area including NASA and Texas City clubs. BTW, I used to live down that way.
