Hey Tex... hope you don't mind the abbreviation.

Thanks for the response. Hopefully I'll get some responses or PM's. What I'd like to do is meet someone at the field, local shop, they can come to my house...don't really care at this point. I have the skills to do everything that needs to be done, just not the confidence.


The weight...Yea, I've heard how slow they fly...also heard of them flipping when close to stall speed. And I'm sure I'll be asking many questions...


I have two other fields close to me but have a couple issues, NW Houston RC always has the gate closed, can't remember the name of the other one (westheimer park)- Not to friendly to Heli pilots. Wanted to get some info from the guys there and caught crap about not being an ama member/ license or something... and don't want to just show up saying Help?

The main issues are TX and Engine. Probably basic to some but it's been far too long since I've even touched a nitro engine much less tune one....I think I was 15 and had some help (37 now). the more I think about it, setting balance and incidence I can brobably do but would feel more comfortable with a little help...just don't want the trial and error that I went through with my helicopters. With the Heli's generally you simply replace a part, re-balance, trim and you're ready to go.

With a plane, you crash-basically you rebuild sometimes very little but not just bolt on a new part.
