Cheers guys, about as warm a welcome as you can get without actually putting a beer in my hand !

I'll keep you posted with 'flight day 2' of my RC flying experience.

My plan is in 4 x stages as this :-

i) Get 100% to grips with the Aerobird 3 then...
ii) Buy a Parkzone FW190 and get really good with that, then...
iii) Buy a RTF or ARTF EDF and learn how to fly that, then...
iv) BUILD ! a twin EDF A-10 and get to grips with that

Does that sound reasonable ?
