well guys i am going tos top asking the ebay question then.
Im going over to hobby people on sunday then to the local airfield right down the street from hobby people to see if anyone will chat with me.

I was just trying to save some money, but the cost of a decent combo brand new is not out of my price range so i guess ill just buys eomthign brand new!

Here are some of my thoughts: I am willing to buy an ARF kit but only to get a better plane (probably not nesscessary).
With the RTF kit im sure down the road i will need to do some work on it and this will give me a chance to learn the plane and learn to work on them. Starting off small in a way.
I also think i am going to buy a c combo with plane, engine and radio. Although i wanted to stay away from something like this because of sometimes when these combos are puttogether it benefits the seller more then the buyer in terms of quality. BUt, with a combo at least i know everything i paired together for a reason.
