I understand what you guys are saying. But I really hate glow engines and small planes.I thought about getting the hangar 9 alpha rtf, but then I have to get all of the support equipment for glow as well. Being that I hate nitro so much and want to fly giant scale anyway, I figured just get a large gas powered trainer. I thought about going to an r/c flight school but that would cost me about $800 when all is said and done. The other point made was compatibility of using a buddy box. Is that really necessary? I think I would rather pass the Tx back and forth. Again this comes down to money that I dont want to spend needlessly on items that I will never use again...like a small nitro trainer and a cheap Tx.
