Status: offline 		i have now $120 total(with shipping) to spend on an RTF (with charger battery and transmitter). I want it to be very easy to fly and stable, And VERY VERY durable. like a plane where the only way to break it is stomp on it or nosedive for really high up. i have flown a 3ch a couple of times. and a few air hogs things. i have done tons of reasearch and found that dynams arent very good quality and usuall come with broken parts. also i have found that banna hobby is a bad store. And that its best if it has lipo and/or brushless. I wont be taking it anywhere near other planes or any thing (i live on 6 acers of field in VT) so 2.4ghz doesnt matter that much.  What do you reccomend? (ebay is allowed bu has to be new)

Status: offline 		Nice suggestion there for a beginner's plane... it looks interesting!

RCVTRC

ALMOST no plane will take a stomping, or hang together from anything other than a low fall.

The closest you are going to come to that is something like this

Click me!

But getting that Flightflex together is going to cost more than your budget, and you'll want several battery packs.

JCINTEXAS's suggestion is pretty good.

You are trying to solve the "crash" problem the wrong way, by looking for an overly durable plane... there are reasons planes are not made from concrete ...

In this case "fix the pilot not the plane".... Your best bet is to find a local club, join their training program and learn to fly RC planes.

Once you do, your perception and take on all of this will change dramatically.... as will your choice of planes.

1st off there are clubs in VT - there are clubs everywhere you just need to search them out.

2nd there are NOT many planes that will crash onto a wing from 20' high that doesn't sustain some amount of damage.

Find a local club and have your first few flights with a trainer cord or your $120 investment might only last a few seconds.

Also this is NOT a cheap hobby. You will crash some planes everyone does. Be prepared to spend more then $120 because to continue flying you will spend way more then $120.
