The best thing you can do is to check out a coupla of hobby shops to really get the low down of whats going on in your locale. The really good news is that there is a tremondus amount of prefabracation in kits out of asia these days.I have gone from single channel to pure jet (not duct fans) in the last 40 or so years. If you love things that fly you are looking in the right direction. If you would like give me a PM with your phone # I'll get back to you.I dont know it all but my AMA # is 16732. That # was issued to me in 1954. I feel that I can steer you in the right direction. Happy landings Randy

Thanks man, there's a local run shop over in Santa Monica off of Ocean Park - I used to live right next to it. It's the kind of shop I worked at when I was a kid (building airplanes for guys who didn't have time - Before the ARF craze). I'll have to head over there this weekend.

Mike ,you seem to be headed in the right direction. You will be surprised in how easy it will be to get your two lefts back together. I will take 3 or 4 years off at a time(other projects) and never have a problem flying. By the way I hope to be ordering some graphis from you soon . Randy

I think you've got the wrong mike as far as the graphics are concerned...I think that's MikeZ - I don't show my a$$ as much as him. =-)
