OK OK OK... Don't go for the LA range! Think about the future! I really regretted getting a 40 FX instead of a 46FX...

Although it may seem that 40 LA/ 46 LA is a better choice now, because of price and power, if you get into 3D flying, you'll need all the power you can get! Beginners usually think that they need the basics, and that will last them down the road ( take me for an example). Nope!

At first, when I was starting out I started, I bought a Skysport 4 and a 40 FX. I changed the Skysport 4 after I got sick of it's short range and limited channels.

You really NEED a 46 FX! You won't need to change the engine for any other .40 plane for as long as it will run! Long term savings...

Mmmm... my friend runs a GMS .47, its full of power and is fuel effecient... it flies for 25 minutes non-stop. Wow.

Oh and the new 46 AX is great stuff. I took off a beginner's trainer after rolling out about 200cm. LOL! Should try that again...
