Hey Goofup,

Your Newbie advice is great. I agree with everything, except if you had to have a starter plane for under $200 I'd go with the Sky Scooter Pro II with Servo city upgrades. I have all 3, the Moth, Stik, and Scooter. The Stik was hard for me and the self taught route because I didn't grasp COG concepts and kept shearing off props.

BTW: I was out last weekend flying slow sticks with 3 other people. One of them had a hacker brushless and Lipoly pack on his stick. Man you should have seen that stick fly. You can be an expert flyer like the guy I was flying with and you will still fly your stick, especially with it kicked up a notch.

I used to be excited and run for my aerobird too. I had such a bad experience overall that I sold my Aerobird(s) and including a gazillion parts.
