Are you sure you wanna jump back in that big for a first plane?

Also many of the CHEAP big arfs need some special attention to make them MORE airworthy..

So keep that in mind also..If you really had the heli flying down thats a big help..But I have always resumed flying with a buddy along for help..after stepping away from the hobby awhile your fingers might be a little rusty. Or was that my mind?

The larger the plane, the more money you typically need to pour into it.

Unfortunately I don't know of anyone ( other than used planes ) who sells RTF gassers new.

Consider getting a .90-1.20 ARF and maybe putting a small gas ( 20 - 26cc ) engine in it.

try abellrc
they are showing a nice extra260 for a 20 to 30 cc gasser much better than a decathlon
