Thanks for the replies.... Im glad I have someone who devotes most of his free time to the sport. As for the DX6i, ive heard great things about it and look forward to using it on Real Flight that way ill have some experience flying with it before taking on the real thing.

Id like to purchase a decent 3d plane and have it ready before myskill level is. Im looking to go Nitro as im not a fan of electric so if anyone has a suggestion on a plane feel free to let me know.

Thanks again!
