Sorry - should have posted a link...[link]http://www.modelflight.com.au/products/Phoenix_Model_Scanner_Low_Wing_ARF-5895-10.html[/link]

As I said, not pretty but flies quite well and very cheap for what it is. The Aussie$ is about the same as the US$ now so you can compare. As I said the Pulse is about double this.

As for my ability I could do all sorts of stuff high up but by no means a 3D man or anything like that. I am pretty confident I could handle most intermediate planes now after a few flights to get back into it.

As for a club - I live about 200 miles from major towns so that is a bit hard but I agree that if it it was an option that would be best...

Thanks for the input though. Will look into them...
