I had hit a few rc forums and searched for the 'what to buy' posts, took some notes and went shopping so to speak. The supercub was one that I had looked at, but so was the other.
well, in light of this info I may go ahead with the supercub instead. I have the dx5 already, so a few extra batteries seems all I'll need extra. Oh, and the flight sim program. That will help quite a bit as I know he'll be wanting to fly as soon as he gets it and we realistically will only be able to get over to the club on the weekends.
