Solid advice guys. Sounds like Futaba is really the way to go for a remote. For the time being at least, Drafter got to me and I'm bitten by the SPAD bug. You could say that I'm a bit of a "SPADdict". (Sorry, had to go there)

Have to agree with the SPAD. I haven't built one, but from speaking with SPAD builders, there is a great deal of pride in how cheaply they can build an airplane. The only items you will need from a hobby shop are the engine and 3 servos and a radio. Everything else can be bought at Home Depot ( or found in the garbage ). Some people are using cardboard.

My Feedback: (-1)
Being in the army, storage can be a problem and hanger rash is a killer. SPADs may be your way to go, they take a beating but are easy to repair. Anyone that has ever been in knows you can't just store your toys on top of your locker without someone with stripes on there sleves saying something about it to you. Electric power may also be something to give some thought to, I can hear my old Sg. Majors voice running through my head now if he would have spotted my stash of glow fuel next to my locker. A very understanding man when he was sober with a voice like an angle. As a computer geek have you ever given any thought to sitting in the chair close to a pilot operating the weapons in a chopper??
By the time I found out about that job I was too short to give it any thought, today I keep thinking it would have been worth it to stay in a bit longer to do something like that. With my luck I would have signed the papers and they would have stuck me in an open door with an M-60.
