Well thank you for the replies guys....

Brian, you ain't kidding about the money pit!!! If my gf knew just how much $ I've spent in just the last 3 weeks alone, I'd be DEAD.... Did I mention I crashed my heli last sunday? Almost fixed though

I will try to get out there this weekend, if nothing else other than to watch again. I just went and ordered a Picco .28 from amain, probably not the greatest motor but I think it will get me started....

Geez do I HAVE to run 30%? It's necessary in my helis and I know how much it costs.... This fuel is gonna kill me

Here's a pic - it looks pretty but underneath it needed a fair amount of work:

If you see someone who doesn't look like he has a clue with a truck lookin like this, come on up and say hi
