New Member (New to RC)

[Aregorn1]

Hey all,

Just dropping a line to say hi. Kind of new to RC Flying, just started flying RC after my wife got me the Cessna - 182 from RedCat. I took my Cessna out in the front yard after I got it put together and you can guess the results. Say "look out for the **crunch** wall". LOL But a little hot-glue and she is ready to go again. But not until after I finish out the foamies and fly them for a while (much cheaper). Plus I got a copy of RealFilght 6.5 to practice with. LOL with the way my back is the Sim is much easier, LOL. One thing that I could use some help with is putting together my KIT, I have some cash that I have set aside for buying the equipment that I will need and I am asking around for suggestions of things that I (#1) NEED to have in the Kit. (#2) Should have. (#3) Would be nice to have.

Here is a list of the Items that I have now;

Stanley GS15DT (6-Pack) 4-Inch Dual Temp Glue Sticks
Arrow Fastener TR550 Lever Feed Glue Gun
Quik-cure 5min epoxy 9oz Bob Smith Ind.
Great Planes RealFlight 6.5 Airplane w/Interlink Mode 2 GPMZ4480
Triangle Alum 45/90 Deg 8 Inch
Du-Bro 230 Mini-Nylon Kwik-Link On 12" 2-56 Rod (5-Pack)
Harry Higley Mini Tap Handle HIGMTH001
Pit Bull CHIDB003 Mini Drill Bit Set Tools Precision Tool Model Car, 21-Piece
Moody Tools 58-0670 6-Piece Slot/Phil/Screw Extractor Combo Reversible Driver Set
Adhesive Technologies 220-11ZIP24 Multi Temp Full Size Glue, 10-Inch, 24-Pack
Du-Bro 107 1/2A Control Horn (2-Pack)
Great Planes Precision Z-Bend Pliers GPMR8025
Mini Tap and Die Set, 14 Piece Set with Box
The New Course (RCPowers.com)
MiG-29 Easybuild PDF (RCPowers.com)
Spektrum DX8 DSMX Transmitter (per-ownedI)​

Any suggestions of items that I should get would be really appreciated. I figure that people who have into RC for a while will know what I should really get because I know they have all, at one time, Said "Man I wish I had a/some "XXXXXXXXXXX". LOL I don't want to get things that I don't really need, and forget things that do. So I will keep track of any suggestions. I may just start another thread that could be useful to others.

Well that is enough on that issue, Thanks for the help, and BTW I really like some of the info that I have gotten here on the site.

Thanks for the help in advance.
