carrellh - thanks for the shops in the area. I have only checked out Mikes, only problem there I only saw evolution engines.
I will check out the others this week if time permits.
Everyone seems to have great suggestions and thats why I joined this forum. I think its a wise choice to go with a 4channel. I will most likely go with a avastar or a sig lt-40 ( if I can find hehe)
Do most radio's come with servos's and reciever? or do I need to buy seperate? If Im buying seperate any suggestions on which to go with.
I know this has become addictive, my gf said yesterday ok, lets stop all the airplane talk and just get the dam plane (lol I have two weeks til I am buying it)
I did the same thing when I started - I kept staring at planes online, in magazines, so I said to my self "just buy one so you can stop dreaming about it", well then I joined this site, and now shop for #2 plane, upgrades, or I spend all my time flying. It's really addicting!
Radios can come either alone or with receiver and servos, and it's usually a better deal to get them all together - you should be able to find a radio with 4 receivers, receiver, battery packs, and switch, all in one package, like this:

I don't know what brand radio your LHS carries, other than Spektrum. All of the major brands are fine. Personally I think Spektrum are the most comfortable to hold, but I like my Futaba a lot too.
Good luck!
