Thanks for the info! I have experience tuning rc car engines, you think that'll help me with the plane engines? I will be flying at my local club's flying field with other pilots but i'm not sure if i'll be flying with an instructor...
The glow plane, whichever you choose, will be significantly larger and faster than the two you've already flown. Adding to that is the complexity of the engine itself. Enlisting the help of an instructor to check out the plane before you start it, to show you safe engine handling, help you tune it, and then help you fly it until you are comfortable, would be a really good idea.
