Good luck!

Bugger. I originally wrote that as rcgropus, then edited it..and STILL got it wrong.

Thanks for the correction

Read carefully! I was not trying to sell Randy anything. I said, "For Starters"! This was to give him a broad idea of what is there to pick from AND he can get straight info from the distributor, IF he wanted to purchase from them.

I never imagined *you* were, but THEY are!!!

Its a bit like saying 'I fancy a high, what should I do'

and you saying 'talk to the nearest pusher'

:-)

Thanks to everyone for your help. I'm registered with RCGroups, but didnt think about the forums. I actually tried to call Hobby Lobby (before posting here) and was put on hold 4 times. Never did talk to anyone except the receptionist in cust service. Anyway, I appreciate your help!

If you want to call a hobby shop, try Tower - they have been helpful when I have called, even thought I wasn't buying.

If you want GOOD and true advice, contact Richard Girardo at Vision Hobbies. He's a pro. You can see the videos of planes he has built and flow on his website at

The Hobby Lobby catalog has some pretty good suggestions. Just look for a plane that is approximately the same as what you have and they usually recommend the battery/ESC/motor combination. I found the one they recommended for their Telemaster Electro to be perfect.

I have to second the motion to contact Hobby Lobby! Not only will you find their catalog
