Oh, man... if you're going to travel - or your friend is... I can only say ZAGI for happiness. I finally found a case (designed for multiple shotguns - but a zagi fits too) that a zagi, a radio-controller, charger and all accessories fit into just splendidly. If you are traveling and must vent with R/C the trick r/c zagi is the way to unwind. The case protects the plane wonderfully, the plane is pretty cheap, parts are pretty cheap, radio is REAL cheap as radios go, and it's electric. No fumes, no smell, no flamable liquids. I know people who fly all over the country and take their Zagi's with them. Next time my bro deploys to Kuwait they're taking a zagi with them on the C-5.... (if they can get away with it

It's not a first plane - but it's sure an easy plane to live with.
