Hi all, thanks again for all the help, and sorry it's taken me so long to reply - had a mad few days! Once everything is a bit more settled, I'll inquire at the local club and hopefully get flying! Scott - if you might be interested, I'll pop some photos on tomorrow if I get a chance, or at least in the next couple of days. Cheers Aaron

I did see it Dave! And I think that's quite a good analogy, the nose would probably hit the floor within 2 minutes I am feeling a little deflated, had dreams of roaring flybys and slow-motion textbook landings... I will definitely look into joining a local club, I have a few small airstrips dotted around where i live so I expect there will be one or two in the area. Cheers Aaron

Hi all, and thanks for the flood of quick responses! It is pretty clear that this is no beginner plane... I would love to keep it stored until I am proficient enough to fly it, but a lack of storage space and funds means that if I am going to get a trainer, this one is going to have to go. I don't suppose any of you could give me a rough value? It seems to be in fairly good structural condition, every part is stiff and solid, although the plastic engine cover is a little tatty, the struts between the two wings are missing, and it is missing a wheel housing. I have no idea whether the engine is working, although it feels good when turning the prop manually, and the previous owner told me it was flying perfectly until it was stored some years ago. Many thanks again, Aaron

Hi everyone, first post here. I have always fancied an r/c plane but not really considered it seriously, I was offered one for what seemed like a really good price but it will need some work to fly and I would appreciate some advice. I think I can probably make any repairs needed as I am pretty handy, and as far as I know, glow engines are really simple? All I know is that it turns over smoothly and has good compression. It is labelled "ultimate blue hawk", and Google says it might be a really good one? And maybe too good for a complete novice? Not sure though as I really know nothing about them. So I guess what I'd like to know is: 1: how much am I looking to spend for whatever I need to fly? (Only have the plane itself) 2: is it worth spending money on this plane when it might be too much for a novice to handle 3: is the plane worth much and should I sell it and look for something more novice-friendly? 4: if it is worth anything, does anyone want to buy it? (I live in taunton, somerset) Many thanks
