Best of luck, and wish you all of the success in the world. This hobby is a great thrill, and my wife sez that I am obsessed. I got my daughter into it (13), and she get's a kick out of it as well ... or maybe it is the boys that are at the club!?

Anyway, listen to these guys on RCU. Go for a trainer LT40, or Tower trainer .. and put the airmiles on it. I used a Nova 40 for my first bird and beat it to pieces with bad landings, and many oops's until I started to figure things out.

Good luck and enjoy yourself! Bo
