RE: tower hobbies .46 carb

RE: First flight on tower trainer and balance issues

RE: evolution .61 on a Kadet LT 40

RE: Getting Started for under $300

One comment on the AMA cost. I believe that the $1.00 fee is for youths under 19 and not 16, and that is w/o the magazine. A great value for sure.
