Thanks guys!! I have not started my RC project yet but it will be a sport/trainer-I have an OS 40 FP and have been flying a Greatplanes realflight simulator for several monthstime permiting I will be flying this summer. One more question-although I really enjoy building, I would consider an ARF for my first time out if you all think that would be a better route and have a specific recomendation or two. I don't want something with auto-correction electronics although I really enjoy flying the Nexstar on the sim-(with the gimmicks turned off) Thanks again for your kind and prompt responsesG.C.Arlt in sunny Eastern Washington
