Hello folks. New at RC flying. Built a .40 glo, high wing trainer (Tiger Trainer?) about 20 years ago only to taxi it around the parking lot, petrified to put it in the air! Balsa, thin laminate, and at that point, my heart. I just could not take the inevitable death plunge attempting a first time solo after so much work. About a month ago I stumbled across the little Yellow Bee in a hardware store. Gave my $30 bucks. One motor turned faster than the other. Looked (and sounded) like a wounded dragonfly desperate to get way from me. The Yellow fellow gave me so many laughs. Though it never really flew, what it did do was spark my interest again. I had now "swallowed the hook" . After reading literally hundreds of forums/threads from countless sites for over three weeks, I have chosen the SC. Once I came to this decision, I started reading everything my brain could absorb regarding this beautiful plane. And there is no shortage of info on the SC! Best deal I have found (LP) is from Hobby Warehouse (free ship plus a extra bat) $179.00usd. Online promo codes do not seem to work. Anyone know of a better deal? Any experiences with Hobbywarehouse? Thanks to all members at SCC. Your wealth of shared experiences and knowledge has already saved my SC and I haven't even bought it yet. -Steve _____________________________________________________________________ ..southeast of disorder.

Welcome Steve!
I know the feeling - also had a gas plane a few years back and never got around to flying it! You will not be disappointed with the SC!

Thanks. I'm sure I will. I think I'm going with the Hobby warehouse package. Seems to be the best deal so far.
