RE: Beginer Advice needed..
Take a look at the MAgnum 46 XLS and Thunder Tiger 46 Pro, these are better for a little more. Also for $30US(tower Hobbies) more I'd at least get the 6EXA as it is computerised and has more features. I am not sure about the flying in the US as I live in New Zealand.
Hope this helps
p.s- Listen to DBcherry, he has some great advice
