RE: "Quest for the First Bird" or "What Have I Gotten Myself Into?"

Thanks Lawrence and oz. I really appreciate the feedback everyone. There is much to consider and I tend to over analyze things. I have made some decisions though.

I'm really leaning toward a Mountain Models Magpie with both wings, I don't think I can beat it for $60.00. It's two planes for the price of one in my book. As far as the radio goes I'm going to be looking for an inexpensive used system. I think I can get everything needed for @ $150.00 which is comparable to an RTF trainer. I actually have a GWS P-38 on the way(Don't worry I'm not flying it) which I can rob a power plant from. A radio, ESC, battery, and charger should get me going. I actually have an old car charger around here somewhere from my Tamiya days. Maybe I can use it for this.

That's the plan at the moment. Any comments?

Thanks!
-Jim
