Been 13 years, a wife, a son (adopted), a house, two dogs, a cat and bills out the wazoo but I'm finally back into R/C
I was flying pattern birds when I gave it up as a single guy and starting over with a trainer arf for practice
I really didn't know how much I missed it till I started back into it, now I'm hooked to for a long time! already got 2 kits on order
and can't wait to fly the trainer. soon as my radio gets here..
BTW its a World Skyraider Mach I with a ST .51 and eventually a Fut 9CAP soon as fedex drops it off

Welcome back to the addiction errm i mean hobby. I think it is great you started with the 9cap. You shouldnt need to upgrade for a while. What other kits are on order?

you will like that sky raider

gentle flyer/some aerobats/will float a good distance,

think you still have the right thumbs?

or will you go up on a cord? 13 yr is a long time

between stirin the sticks,

Yep, I'm going on the cord for the first time, been sim flying a bit and thats ez enough to t/o and land
so I'm thinking one trip on the cord will do. My next kit on order is a goldberg Tiger 2 coming with the radio and I'll order an OMP yak here in a couple of days .Actually all it took to get back into R/C whas a whiff of the sweet smell of glow fuel burning.......
(and a yes from the wife)
Steve

don't u have like 10 model memory on the 9 cap?

That's a great looking plane! Have fun!!!

Welcome back, Steve!!

Did the same about a year ago after a fifteen year hiatus, and am still figuring out the changes in radios and engines The hobby has REALLY improved in the last decade or so!

Cheers!

Steve,
Welcome back from me too!

Sounds like you're taking the right approach to getting started again, and I wish you good luck and lotsa fun.
