I will onlt tell you what i did , dont even know if there still around .
I fly alone , first I bought a real flight sim from Tower $199 , best money ever !!! that you will spend in this hobby , plus its fun
2)I bought a duro plane and an os max 40 size engine , that is all I needed , I flew and crashed the hell out of it alone , withen one season 3 months , onece a week , I learned to fly , Two years later , I was flying warbirds , no problem at all
