Welcome to the R/C world. You might want to visit the SPAD topic here on RCU. The money you will save will let you buy a much better radio. You can build a SPAD for about $15.00 bucks and they will take a beating like no other. It is worth a look for any beginner as you WILL crash and with a spad you usually only have to change the prop if that. also check out www.spadtothebone.com for all the free plans/materials and building tips to build one.
