RE: Newbie needs recommendation please
Same here on getting started in gas a little over a year ago. There were a couple guys at our field that flew gas but I didn't get to talk to them as much as I would have liked to so I turned to RC Universe for help and got lots of it. Gnirwin is right about making sure whoever you decide to get your engine from just make sure it's a reputable dealer. Lots of nice engines out there with good support so you just have to pick which one gets your business.
