Thanks for the replies. I do understand what you mean. The Slinger is made of foam, and is covered is something (don't recall what the ad said) but it is supposed to be very durable. Another post on the RCU site said it was similar to a zagi. I may wait and get another plane first and let that be my second or third if my wife lets me. LOL

What do you guys recommend as a semi aerobatic (rolls and loops) first plane. I want something that has 3 channels and is made of foam. It also need to work in some light wind. We don't get many days without a breeze. Any suggestions?
