I'm getting into planes. I just want to know what else i need to buy other than the stuff I'm going to buy

Great planes PT-40
Futaba 6EXA
o.s .46 ax
Glue
wheels
fuel tank
wrap
What else do i need, also is there and fail safe for nitro planes

There is a fail safe in some radio systems, not sure if that Futaba you are looking at has it, though. The DX7 has fail safe built in, plus it is 2.4 GHz and pretty much inteference free.

As far as the other stuff you are getting, what field equipment do you have? Glue.. CA, Epoxy (5 minute and 20 minute), and maybe some Elmers or other wood glue. Fuel tubing, if it doesn't come with it, fuel filter if you want one.

You will need all of the building tools normally required to build from a kit like the Great Planes PT-40:

-covering iron, trim iron, heat gun
-building board/building table
-t-pins and/or small wood clamps
-drill, screw drivers
-exacto knife, hobby saw, scissors
-adhesives such as thin CA, thick CA, 5-min Epoxy, 30-min Epoxy, and wood glue
-masking tape, marking pen
-several rolls of various colors of Monokote or Ultracote
-protective 1/4" or 1/2" foam, velcro, rubber bands
-yardstick, tape measure, builder's square
-CA or Robart hinges, hinge marking jig, hinge cutting tools

My advise would be to buy your kit and building supplies first; then worry about your engine and radio equipment only when the plane is almost completely finished.

Good luck and good shopping!

If you plan to stay in the hobby....or can afford it...My personal opinion...take a look at the Futaba 7 channel and see if you are willing to pay the extra $$$. If you stay in the hobby you will need more than the 6 for sure. I bought my 7 CAP only a few months ago....and already I have found myself needing the 9 Cap for its mixing functions. If you are in a club...ask around. Someone might have one in excellent shape at a good price.

ALso if this is your first build....take your time building it. Donto be inpatient and buy some of the stuff as you go. I found myself buying things i never even used. this hobby is epxensive enough. Id rather spend the money on planes.

Here we go again.

Flight Box, Chicken Stick and/or starter, fuel pump (manual or electric) Battery for flight box, glow starter, a couple extra glow plugs, but all these can come later.

Ok i'm not new to Radio controled but i am new to the airplane part of it. So thanks for your input on this i think i might just buy stuff as i need it. but one more thing i have airplane epoxy will that be ok

You won't want to use only epoxy for the build. Wood glue dries much lighter weight and leaves very strong joints. You will need thin CA for hinges unless you buy plastic pinned or Robart hinges. You can use epoxy for these kinds of hinges.

A plane build completely with epoxy will weigh significantly more than one built from a variety of adhesives, assuming you use the right glue for each job.

I like to use 30 min epoxy around the engine and high stress areas. The majority of the plane I put together with the yellow Titebond wood glue. But I use thin CA on CA hinges.

I think 30 min epoxy is more fuel proof than 5 min epoxy.

In the engine compartment, I will mix a little Practa Enamel in with epoxy to fuel proof it in the desired color. Dries a little slower but remains fuel proof and secure.

Large plastic bags.. oops..
