I really do like the eFlite Advance and the eFlite Pulse, they seem roughly the same with the exception that the Advance has tricycle gear and the Pulse is a tail dragger. I will definitely own one or the other eventually I just don't want to run in this hobby before I can walk haha. I do however feel like I could fly the advance, it has so much dihedral in the wings and the air foil is only semi-symmetrical. I'm just paranoid of trashing it on my first, fifth, tenth flight. I know I'm going to crash eventually, it comes with the hobby. I just don't want to crash right away if I can help it haha. I'm seriously considering the Stik right now as I feel I'll be kinda underwelmed by a high wing trainer or at best, I'll get 10 flights out of it before I want to upgrade. By the way, I really appreciate all the kind words and advice. It's been more than helpful to say the least.
