i would suggest a stick
I would suggest a .40 size stick. There are several ARF's out there made by several different companies. For the money a stick just cant be beat for all around price and its just a fun plane to fly. I have a .60 size Hangar 9 super stick and it has survived impact with a tree and a fence, " did require some minor and major repairs at times", and many hard years of dependable service. A person would be hard pressed to find a more affordable, more aerobatic, and just all around more fun plane to fly than a .40 size stick.
Thanks,
Johnny
