Well, I have done it. I purchased a Hobbico Superstar 40, went to the airfield, got a trainer, and now have 2 flights under my belt. Of course I didn't even try to land or take of yet but I did do a number of loops and rolls without any problems. I appreciate all the info you guys gave me and I'll keep you updated if interested. The first place I went was the Brazoria County Modelers Assocation airfield, man what a nice place. They have almost a 400-600' concrete runway that is just fine as frog hair, however it is about 1.45 hours from the house so I plan on checking out some different ones closer by. If anyone here is a member of one of the local clubs in the Humble, TX area feel free to contact me or reply to this post so I can get some insight on your fields. A couple of the ones I'm going to check out are Houston Sport Flyers, Jetero and Lone Star RC. Again, if anyone has any info please contact me, and thanks for the help. When I figure out how to attach some pics I'll post some of my plane.
