Get a firebird. If I can fly it then anyone can. They really are easy to fly. When you are a newbie though you HAVE to make sure as with any electric plane not to fly in much wind at all because it's bound to get high and far away from you real quick. The firebird II is just a wonderful little plane. I think it's called the Firebird II ST or XL now. I actually got good enough with it to even do loops,, something it's not supposedly able to do. Took some practice and some mishaps but I did it It has since been retired due to a simple fall out of a walnut tree when it broke it's rear tailboom assembly. It's taken a tremendous amount of abuse so it's time had come I guess. Now I'm stepping up to a predator.
