Here is a list of suppliers that I use

Engines - Jett has engines from $275 to $400 depending on your taste!
Airframes - Ninjas from Warwick Smith, Bird of Pray from Lyle Larsson.
Tanks - Jett makes tanks or Tetra from Probuild in Dorset
Props - only APC try Darrol Cady
Plugs - Performance Speciaities
Fueling syringe - Jett
Wheels - BB specialities Darrol Cady or Jett

That will get you into the air with parts that are differcult to obtain in the local model shop.

Excellent thanks Barry - will the other guys racing Q500 come on here to get some discussion going which might help any newbs considering getting involved?

Having just stumbled on to this site may I add some information to the above.

Nelson Engines/Performance specialities have announced that they will no longer accept new orders for Nelson Racing engines. Some parts will be available while stocks last.

There is another source for Nelson type plugs.

The "Vortex" Q500 kit is available here.  marcus18992000@yahoo.com This airplane has won several US NATS contests.

For APC props I would suggest going direct to APC.
