Paulrouke,
Good for you if you want to build it yourself. The LT 40 by Sig comes as a kit and will save you some money too. By building it you will know how to fix it. Tower Hobbies and other mail order places can sell you the kit covering and a few tools, glue etc. All things a modeler will eventually get anyway. Go for the OS AX 46 though it runs fine and is a reliable engine.

Check out the first two posts at the top of this forum for all the details, these guys have really done the finest job of simplifying the beginer process. I send all of my new students to those posts. [8D]
