Hay Podritz, listen up.... YES buy the Eagle deal. I'll bet this "nice local guy" will also throw in some free flying lesons so you can transfer from your park flyer to this glo powered trainer. Join AMA and his local club so he can help you at your local field. Most of us would much prefer to help someone who buys one of our second hand planes then to just hand it to him and have it auggered into the ground. I bet he will help you if you ask. GO for it!!! Good luck & good landings
