Thanks KoolKrabber for the comments and all.

Well, I picked up this gorgeous airplane on Saturday and man does this sucker have ALOT of field equipment.

Everything is in perfect working order and I just need to go out and get fuel and rubberbands for the wings. I guess the box of rubber bands has been sitting next to the plane for quite sometime and "look" like they might be bad but last night I picked one or two out and stretched the heck out of them and they were very very hard to break.
I bound the plane to my new RX and TX and it worked great. All flight controls operated very smoothly.

I am very excited about this plane. I am definately looking forward to my first flight with it.

Now I have some questions!!!!

What brand of 10% nitro should I get?

Can you all please help me learn to tune this baby? It looks much more difficult than a nitro rc truck.
Should I reset the needles to factory settings and go from there?

The plane came with a couple pieces of equipment that uses small lead acid batteries like the electric starter, and the field box power panel.

How would I charge these? I just picked up a great Bantam BC6 charger that will charge lead acid batteries but how do I know how much amperage to charge these batteries with.

Also the RX battery that came with the plane is a 4.8 volt Ni-cad battery. Can I get a nihm battery that would work and live a little longer?

How would I find out how long this battery will operate the radio system before failing?

I noticed that the "skin" of the plane has some smaill wrinkles in a few spots, the guy told me that I can use a hair drier to tighten up the monokote, is this true or will I damage the skin?

I have never worked with monokote coverings, what kind of chemicals can I used to wipe the plane down with?

Thats all I have right now.

Oh and KoolKrabber,..............I'll never give up!
