I no longer have a problem in killing the couriers however I can never get back to the starting point with enough fuel left.
I've tried different combo's on which ones to take out first, farthest away first then work your way back, but in the end i'm still always short on fuel. They should have made the mission complete after you blew up the last courier.
However i've learned that those three missions at the R/C store are stand alone one's and other then money and respect, they aren't essential to the completion of the game.
Also anyone else having a blast with the Super GT and some NOS? I love that damn effect once you get on the gas. Now i see why matt likes it so much on his CL.

you know, i hate to rain on the parade that is the wonder of GTA San Andreas but i have to say, im a bit dissapointed with the technical integrety of the graphics engine on this game. they REALLY are pushing the PS2 far to hard....i cant be the only one who notices the incredibly choppy framerate when going reasonably fast in any vehicle and the jitteriness of some of the shootouts with multiple enemies...also, i think its really annoying how the PS2 cant keep up with the game and you drive into a town or whatever and the PS2 didnt have time to change the building textures from the "far away, blurry, blocky texture" to the "up close, crisp, good looking texture" so you get somewhere and then it takes a few seconds for the buildings to appear how they should....granted, this game IS absolutely incredible but maybe they just pushed the hardware too hard for a game this large....im sure whenever (at least 1 year to 18 months) when Xbox and PC get this game, it will definately not suffer as badly in this regard as the PS2 version is clearly suffering.
It is sweet riding a bike in this game!

I notice this too especially when going top speed in a car or on a bike....pisses me off to no end!

On the other hand, it would be a better all around game on xbox or pc.

yes, the game is a life-consuming thing of beauty. no you dont have to fill up with gas. you do have to eat and workout though...and get clothes, haircuts, tattoos, learn how to drive, fly, ride a bike, work up your stamina and endurance, etc, etc, etc, etc....go get it now and prepare to flush your college semester down the drain

You will never have enough fuel if you land the RC plane. You need to learn how to fly it and just fly by shooting. It will take you less time and fuel this way. Well thats how I passed it and I barely had enough fuel to get back in time. The next mission is a lot easier though. (well if you know hot to fly a helicopter that is)

Its on the mission called 'high stakes, low rider'. Basically you go check up on your sister at the local lowrider hangout, since Sweet doesnt like it that she's dating a Mexican. But first, you get a car from a guy that owes Sweet a favor. This comes automatically. Once you get the car, the mod shop is right there. Go hook up your car, and then drive to the lowrider competition.

Go out on the freeway and set your car on fire. When the fire truck comes get in it and start doing the fire truck missions. Since you are on the freeway it is mad easy to get to and from one fire to the next. You also make mad cash for the firefigher missions. That's how I made my money before I took over other gang's turf. I made about $30K in 20 minutes.

You have to get to a certain point in the game. I don't remember which mission it is, but I think it is after the OG missions are done and you go back to Sweet's house.
Then to take over turf all you have to do is go to a different gang's turf (It will be shown on the map by indicating the gang's color (i.e., purple for the ballers) and start shooting the gang members. Once you kill all of them that turf is yours. Although they can take it back if you don't protect it.
