Thanks, all.
My only problem w/the Super Cub is that it comes with an AM radio and a brushed motor (I guess that's TWO problems

). So, yeah, it's a nice price, but brushless and 2.4ghz are both pretty big features for me.
But I found another plane @ Horizon; the E-Flite Apprentice 15e

AARGH...this decision is getting harder, not easier!!
