I still have all my rc planes although I havent flown anything in a few years due to life getting in the way. Slipperyrock gave some good advice, reach out to Birmingham RC club, this is the club I flew at for years and years. Maybe reach out to one of the club officers and chat with them. I was one of the flight training pilots there. Maybe decide if you want to go electric or with glow power,...most things have swung in the direction of electric power now I think. Ive actually got one or two high wing trainers in my basement that have not yet flown that were designed for glow powered engines but could be made E powered easily.
I used to race club 40 pylon races- man, you talk about FUN!...we held several races up there at Bham RC as well as at other clubs. Here is a blast from the past; its a club40 pylon race up in Huntsville from 2010 that had like 29 or 30 pilots entered.Hard to think that this was 15 years ago! Im in the foreground with the white Tee shirt and the cow colored white plane with black spots.
clicky here to see the race
