Good morning everyone,
My name is Kelley. I just recently (with in the last month) got into building "foamies" I started to build a SU31 and a Friend at work, that happened to turn me onto the hobbie, gave me a retired pusher jet already complete, minus electronics or motor. I picked up a FLY SKY TH9X from HobbyPARTZ.com as well as a few 1300mah 20c batteries and a 30A ESC and 1/2 a dozen 9g servos. as of last night, I FINALLY have the transmitter figured out (took a bit to figure out how to set the elevons) looking for any pointers or tips on anything to make any part of this hobby easier. Several years ago I was into flying .40 trainers, but that was expensive and time comsuming. The real appeal to me with these electric planes is they are cheap and easy to build, which makes it easy to share the hobby with my kids and get them interested in something other than video games.
