Default First Plane

Hello,

I joined RC Universe recently. I want to say "Hello" and to introduce myself and my RC background. I started racing electric carpet oval many years ago, I had a few Team Associated RC10L. I also have a Kyosho Lazer ZX5. I stopped racing because of time and work. I recently got back into the RC hobby a year ago by purchasing an HPI Savage X truck, my first nitro vehicle. My garage continued to grow with the addition of a Traxxis Revo3.3, Mugen MBX5T ProSpec, and an Team Losi LST.

Eventually, I got more into helicopters and purchased a SIM, eventually my first helicopter, a TREX 450SEV2. Now, I have added a Raptor30 and most recently a TREX 600NitroPro. I have just recently, a month back, gotten more and more interested in planes.

I am a member of MAAC and the Toronto RC Heli Club. They only fly helicopters. I have a fixed wing instructor lined up and will be joining a fixed wing flying club.

I have began to search for my first plane, I have settled on and will purchase soon the Hanger 9 P51 Mustang PTS ARF with the Saito FA56 AAC with Futaba S3004 servos all round including one for the flaps. I have a DX7, so, I will also be putting the AR7000 full range receiver in the P51.

Before I make the final commitment and spring for the above plane and parts, I would like your opinions on the plane, the engine, servos and receiver. I am new to planes and want to go about learning to fly and setting up my plane properly. In the meantime, I am practicing on the SIM and next week will head to the flying field for my first fixed wing lesson... Woo Hoo!!!

Any comments & suggestions are welcome and appreciated...
