Hi all,

My name is Al, I just moved back to the area. I am a mechanical engineer, working in Baton Rouge.

I have been wanting to get into RC planes a bit for a few years now, (mostly multi engine warbird type planes...such as the C-130s I used to work on)

I am looking for suggestions on where to start off, plane/kit etc for a good starter, electric or nitro, and where around Baton Rouge I can order/purchase one.

Thanks

Well, I went to the hobby place near florida/airline today, bought a nitro trainer plane, RTF, already put the pieces together....I think I did it right....guess we will find out soon enough. Will set it to charge batteries saturday night, and then see y'all out htere sunday hopefully, pending decent weather of course. Hopefully someone there who can spend some time teaching me pretty much everything I need to know that I can learn in a few hours...

What time would be best? I do have church to go to in the morning, normally either a 9:45 or 11:30 mass, but church is the only plans I have for this sunday, and maybe a few football games that evening..
