If you are looking to fly R/C, it seems like your choice might be between the Aerobird and the T Hawk. I personally wouldn't bother with the Firebird II. You can get the Aeorbird Challenger from rcboyz.com for $115 and probably a little cheaper elsewhere. I am pretty happy with my aerobird, but this T-Hawk sounds pretty cool also. The aerobird is a lot more responsive in "pro" mode. If you do get the t-hawk, definitely spring for the better radio. You want proportional throttle control.

Good luck, and you really can't go wrong with either plane. I'm off to fly my aerobird!
