Iam new to RCPlanes and want to get a good electric to learn on. Iwas looking at the Cubs because Ithink after Ilearn to fly one good enough to get a second plane it would be great to put floats on it, so thats my plan.

So far the best one Ican find, with my little knowledge of planes lol, is the Hobbico Flyzone Select Cub RTF. Towerhobbies has it for $220 but with their deal going on now it would only be $200 shipped. BUTthey also have this plane in the Scratch 'N Dent section for $154 with the problem being labeled : "<font size="2">(New / Very Slight Damage) missing cowl &amp; some hardware" So after their sales and buying the cowl it puts this plane at $146 shipped.

So my question to you guys is which do you think Ishould do?Buy it new or buy the Scratch 'N Dent one? being new to this hobby and this website I'm not sure how much ofa gamble this is.

Also any suggestoins on other planes would be appreciated (Just not the Super Cub LP, Idont like the radio it comes with)

THANKS!</font>
