I'm returning to this sport after 45 years absence. My pervious experience was flying the Leroy Cox plastic bricks. I say go big or stay home so my girlfriend is getting me a Brodak Oriental ARF for Xmas. I have a chioce of engines. Either an Enya SS.40BB or an Enya .46 4C. You can see from my experience that I need to proceed with caution. I'm keeping the R/C carbs so I can run the engines at whatever throttle setting I'm initially comfortable with. This aircraft also has ailerons. My thought would be to initially lock the ailerons in the neutral position and connect them properly later.

Am I on the right track with the ailerons and which engine should I start with? I have stong affection for four cycles.

Regards,
Bill
