Hi,


I'm Sgt. Kapela, I'm with the 105th MP co. NYARNG. I got home from Iraq, I wanted to get back to a hobby that I played with before but never went further with. So after playing with an old 2 channel park flyer/trainer I've for a few years. I found the NirtoPlanes web site by accident, I saw the EDF planes and got real interested. After reading all the feedback sections, and being able to say I'm some where between being a beginner and novice R/C pilot. I ordered this 4-Channel F15E RC 64mm EDF Foam Jet RTF Version With Radio (Gray) ( Includes Electric Brushless Ducted Turbo Fan + 25A ESC + LiPo Battery 100% Ready-to-Fly ) Item: EDFJet_F15E_RTF_GRAY, with the trainer sim kit. I liked that it was slower and had a more stable air frame. I was able to do some loops,land, banks and dives with little pilot error "crashes" on my trainer. I'm still not confident I'm up to the acrobatics and speeds of the 70mm EDF models. I figured this would be a good first jet. So, any suggestions on future up grades on the plane as my skills with it advances would be helpful. I could also use suggestions with kit and supplies suggestions. IE supplies I should have on hand, glue types etc. I'm a noob with the lingo, please put it in laymen's terms or use links. I still run an old honey bee chopper and traxxas truck. I like the electric powered R/C models; I owned a gas truck and it was a real pain in the @$$, not to mention expensive to run and maintain.


Thanks

P.S I live in Buffalo NY and have a few hobby shops near by.
