RE: Some advice for a beginner....
The Tiger Moth gave me nothing but headaches... (but I now think it was a bad battery pack... Never had enough power to get above 10 ft up.)
The Wingo or Soarstar (very similar aircraft) are slow flying, very rugged models 3 channel kind of goofy looking... but they can be a lot of fun. One of the main differences is the Soarstar has a gear drive, which is inherantly more efficient with the slow models.. Both are pushers.
There are MANY decent electric models out there....
