if i was you i would save a bit more money.. it is a 2 channel plane, and they are incredibly hard to learn to fly with, and once you have learned to fly it, it would be mangled, even though it would fly, it wouldnt fly nicely

what a two channel plane?

its where it uses the speed of the motors to go faward and to increase the AOA, it turns by slowing 2 of the motors.

some planes you might want to look into that are a good bang for the buck, are the slowstick, or the tiger moth by GWS, or a wingo which is distributed by hobby lobby.

the easiest and overall, the funnest to fly are the 3ch+ planes, the channels usually used are elevator, throttle, rudder.
if money is a big issue then you might want to check out some of the hong kong models being advertised through ebay, i have tried the Goldeneagle XXl and it flies ok but not a begginers plane, too fast.
i even just then had a look on your UK ebay , and, there are way more good things there then at our auzzie one..
