Let us know if you want to fly "Glow" powered stuff or the new electric. I'll gladly assist in pointing you in the right direction, and there are pro's and con's to each.

Unless they call me back yet again I no longer have the problem of "work getting in the way of the hobbies", I am permanently out of work. I hate the pigeon hole effect of the word retired
Power is a question I have yet to answer, I have dabbled with nitro in land vehicles a couple of times but got tired of the constant tuning plus the mess. On the other hand I like the noise of an internal combustion engine especially in a scale plane.
Once the season is in full swing I'm going to have to visit a field to help answer some of these questions.
