if you already have the $130-save another 20 and get the aerobird challenger. Its a lot better than the commander would be because you get the 3rd channel, x-port, and multi-mode.

They are, but you need to save up for a bit longer to afford either the TM or SS. Either will run you at least $250 to get fully outfitted.

I currently own a firebird commander right now and i'm very happy with it. But im going to upgrade in about 2 weeks to something with 3 channels like the Hobbico Superstar Ep[8D]. Overall i think the firebird Co. is a good plane to get into r/c flying with, but with only 2 channels it is kind of limited in performance.
