| Tim, if you haven't done much in the way oF R/C flying and you want to get some stick time in I can thoroughly recommend the GWS Beaver, I recently got one (they come complete with motor and prop, you just have to supply radio gear and a battery) and I am getting plenty of enjoyable flying with it. I had became very rusty and this is getting me up to scratch again. I have a LiPoly battery in mine and am getting 20-15mins flying of each charge and when I eventually demolish it the power unit will go into a scratch built scale model. Buying the special charger and speed controller was a bit dear but if you don't have any glo gear at all it would cost about the same. The advantages are you can fly anywhere as there is no noise, no oily model to clean and store and you dont have to cart fuel, starters, batteries etc. Just a batery pack in your pocket, the model and the transmitter. The Beaver is very easy to fly, you could probably teach yourself on it. Highly recommended and quite cheap here (equivalent of aout GBP25).
