Thanks for the suggestions. I've only been into RC for a couple of months:

I was in the Navy and in Pensacola, Florida in 1973 when I first saw sailors flying RC planes off the flight deck of the Lexington into Pensacola Bay. I've wanted to get into this hobby since, but have been a poor lowly educator (and parent) with NO spare $$!

I quit smoking about 4 months ago (you might ask where THAT $$ came from!) and my wife mentioned that I needed to reward myself with the like equivelent in $$, so away I went.

What a setup I have! Our local club's airfield is the old city landfill and it's only a mile from my house. Now if I could just get to the retirement stage in my life (May 30, 2008) I'll have it made!
