Actually I'd think you would have to be a better pilot to handle that plane than you would for some of the bigger quality built warbirds. Banana Hobby is probably the second most hated distributor in the RC business, with Hobby King being the first (oddly enough though, we keep buying those cheap parts from them). Brushed motors aren't used anymore on anything but the cheapest packages today because brushless motors are so much more efficient and durable. I suppose if you picked the plane up for $50 or so receiver ready you did fine (assuming nothing fails in flight during your first outing) but frankly you could have spent your money better and had a better product.
