I see valleyviewrc.com is up and running better tonite...here is a pretty good set-up:

Is it the ultimate for you? Probably not but it is a good setup at a good price, gets you started and then YOU can learn what YOU like and don't like rather than a bunch of yahoos like me telling you what you "must get or your stupid". I have a giant stinger out in the shop that was my first gasser. I got it at a pretty good price and I would never get one again-but it sure taught me a lot. My only other suggestion is whatever you get, make sure it is from an American supplier with an American address and an American phone number. I don't care if you by the off shore stuff or not, but it sure is easier to get service from someone you can pick up the phone and call.
