Hi I am new to this hobby. I have a few questions that were not answered
by the FAQ.

	1) When I see a gas plane advertised as 3 channel. Do these
	include: elevator,rudder&throttle. 

	2) If the plane has no aileron control. And very little or
	   no dihedral. Can it still turn?

	3) I have decided on an engine size of .10. How much Nitro
	should I buy my fuel with?

	4) How do these diesel engines get adjusted? You'd have
 	to be VERY steady handed to get near that adjusting "T" 
	 with the prop spinning 1" away!!

	5) Will a diesel engine of a given disp put out more
	  power?

	6) I have seen many ads for radios and have settled on
	  a four channel from airtronics or futaba. What
	do all the Nbl,nbf and all that stand for. If I 
	buy a radio kit now with 3 servos can I add a 4th later
	if I put it in a plane with aileron control? WITHOUT
 	buying a new receiver? What is servo reverse? Whats the
	pros and cons of AM vs FM. Are they disallowed in certain
	areas? Can the servos be put in a glider?

	7) Do ailerons work 180deg out of sync or am I confusing
	this with flaps.

	8) How do those hand held starters work? Do they just
	interface on the nut/prop or do you have to have a cone
	there?

	9) Is balsa/wood construction the best for someone who contemplates
	  many repairs due to crashes, or is foam/plastic better because
	its stronger.

	Thats all for now. Thanks. If you want you could reply via
	email then I will post the q's and a's or mail them
	to the FAQ man.
