I agree with Woodsy, there is no better....even between 2 wooden ARF's....they are pretty much equivalent.

The SPAD will cost less, is more durable, can handle more crashes, is more easily repairable with less time required to do a repair, will give you more confidence, can be built quicker in many cases unless you have a RTF, will give your instructor more comfort, will provide more instructors that will be willing to step up to the plate to help you, will keep you from falling in love with your plane to the point where you are afraid to fly, and will have you solo'ing in less time....
