Nice thread and good advice to any one starting in the hobby. By the way, you will not be disappointed with your choice of planes. The Tigers are great flyers and are up on the top of the heap for a second plane. I have been flying for over 30 years and I always have a Tiger in my hangar. As we speak I am building the Tiger 60 Deluxe and I have the Tiger 2 in my storaqe rack waiting on the weather to change for flying. Good Luck, Dave
