thanks airjunkie, i love my planes and have no intent on getting rid of them,but there are no hobbie shops within 160 miles, i have learned everything here on RC Universe about planes and plan to do so with Heli's also.
i appriciate all your help to Rafael, but the nearest rc club is Fallon Nevada, which is 160 miles away, i am aware of the links you have gave me but i have been through all that with my learning to fly planes, that is why i learned by myself.
techrtr, i have a sim, afpd as stated above, and i will practice alot....and if i crash i crash....but i will learn because i can rebuild, i have the tools and the skills, i am a 54 yr old flying junkie
thanks Druss, i too bore fast, id rather be rebuilding than be bored!!
