 So you
decided to continue on. Let's view a piece of "my little world". I
can't say your decision surprises me. Flying an R/C is very exhilarating,
a real rush. Imagine controlling the uncontrollable, if you can.
Although I've been involved with aviation pretty much all my life, I just
started flying last year. So by no means have I mastered it yet. But I'm
trying......
 
Go ahead, ask me!
"Where Do I Start?"
-
Get a good Trainer Package. - Great
Planes PT-40 series or Thunder Tiger 40 mark III series.

Don't pay too much. - The combo pkg will run
about $275.00 - $325.00 depending where you go.
-
Okay put the thing together - Guys ask your
wives to read the directions completely though before you start!

Take your time - Once you finish it will be
to windy too fly anyway.
-
Be prepared to spend money - Like any hobby
this will consume all your money.
"What's Next Tom?"

important so DO IT!
