RE: First time
Ditto all of that,
Ive flown only one electric, the Corona, so i don't know much about elecrics, but from what little ive experienced, i'd say you are a lot better off with a bigger bird. the most popular ones are the Cetury Hawk 30, Raptor 30 or 50 (i am raptor 50 guy) , Scedueu 50 EVO.. there are a few others worth a look also, but those are the main 3 at present. you might get a different opinion from the folks in the electrics forum.
It is also a good idea to invest in better radio equipment a good 6 to 8 chanel radio, any less is pretty limiting in the future you end up buying the radio gear all over again.
