Default RE: Considering giving nitro flight a try.....any advice?

Ok guys,


I have decided to get the Avistar package that I showed you all above. I am going to give this a good wholesome try. I pick the plane and gear up on Saturday.

Now today I picked up a AR500 Spektrum RX for the plane even though it comes with a nice FM radio system. My buddy at the hobbyshop told me that the AR500 and my DX6i will be fine for this plane.


I have found a couple of great people including Ciscovet who live near me that will help me get this baby going.

Thanks everyone for all your help and suggestions and I will continue to keep you all updated with my progress with my new hobby.

Does anyone recommend a cheap but decent 10% nitro fuel for my plane?

The seller told me that he put about 2 gallons of fuel through the engine since new.

How many gallons are the stock engines good for?
