I was wondering if anyone could help me get started into flying combat. I have been flying fixed wing for almost 3 years and helis for one year. I have never competed in combat just have seen one done. I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on planes and etc. I just built a wonder that I was going to use to beat around in. I didnt build any modifications to it like I see some combat planes have. would this be an alright starter for combat? I would also like to know how I could find combat events around my area (Midwestern Illinois).

Thanks
