If you're looking for an ARF, take a look at this link (http://www.spadtothebone.com/misc/Hi...ad_ARFs_Almost). It lists those who can get you set up with an ARF, but it will be well worth your time to learn to build - especially when it comes to repair time.

And as Javven reminds us, there is no such thing as an indestructible plane. The coro will handle much more of the abuse that a newbie will and can put his model thru where the balsa models will not. Another advantage to the coro is the cost. Once you decide to try and build, and if you try a coro model, you'll be suprised to find that you can get one together from $20 or less. Personally, I would much rather crash and burn $20 at a time than $150 or more.

That's just my opinion,
