RE: Looking for a plane
Since money isn't an issue, buy the best trainer package currently out there -- Hobbico Nexstar. It will give you the best chance to quickly learn to fly & the plane can be juiced up later to make it more interesting, then kept in your "arsenal" for years. If you crash it, or no longer want it, the FXi motor is a first class unit & it is easily transferable to high performance sport planes.
