Of course, I'd be happy to help.

Do bear in mind though that under club rules you will have to do a separate flying competence test to be able to fly it on your own, anything over 7kg or turbine powered requires this. Having seen you fly your F14, I don't think you should have an issue with this though.

Oops better get that sorted out then, been flying my Corsair and my spit which are both over 7kg. What does the competence test involve?

I bought my Boomerang intro as a complete package for £900 about 6 years ago - I have put in several hundred flights on it and it is still fun and has cost me £40 for a new kerostart plug and 3 or 4 turbine battery packs (around £25 each). They are out there, but you need to jump on your bike when you see one - same with excalliburs.

Ok thanks for that, I'm in no rush so I will keep my eye open for a better price. Cheers

Yeah I know thanks, I've been looking at this. Very tempted.
