My buddy just finsihed his first RC plane (Eagle Two) and he loves it. I helped him a little with the building and enjoyed it very much. Now I feel its time to take my first step and purchase a trainer. My friend has told me somethings about why this has to be and things like that so I have looked around on the net (and I hope to get some magazines soon) and have came up with this selection for me:

• Sig Kadet LT-40
• Laser 4FM 4-HS300 Radio
• Tower Hobbies .61 BAll Bearing ABC Engine
• Top Flite 11x7 Power Point Propeller
• 3x Dove Grey Plastic Wrap
• 5 and 30 min epoxy + debonder
• O.S. #8 Glow Plug
• Tower Hobbies Tower Power 5% Fuel
• Great Planes Ultra Precision Fuel Filter
• Silicon Fuel Tubing
• Latex foam rubber (1/4")

Any advice on the choices I made would be appreciated. I also have some specific questions:

• Should I get a 4 or 6 channel radio?
• Should I get a 2 or 4 stroke engine?

Thanks a lot for the help!
