Janet,

Robbe doesn't seem to have any major full-line vendors here in the US, but I do see their products from time to time at various hobby shops. That little guy is certainly interesting in appearance, but I know absolutely nothing about it other than its general specifications listed on the link--it does appear to be a decent beginner choice, though. If you like the minipiper but not the tiger moth, take a look at the GWS cub. It's like a timex watch--takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Mine, due to inattentive piloting, has crashed into trees, stop signs, haywagons, tractors, buildings,...er, that's enough...and a little packaging tape and/or 5-minute epoxy always gets it going again. Best of all, it's only $40, including the motor, prop, and gearbox. Here's a picture of mine before I added nicer foam wheels and landing gear struts. It's over a year old and has many flights on it:
