Thanks for the replies. I think I will go for the Alpha. It looks better and everyone says it flies better. It would also be nice to have one plane that can handle a little bit of wind. In response to Woody 51, I am going to continue my practice with the slow stick and perhaps cut the wing so I can go faster and work my way up. In other words push the limit of the slow stick before trying the Alpha Corsair. Besides its winter and may not actually get one till the spring. I do have another slow stick that I will leave stock and let my daughter/ beginners fly.

I can fly the slow stick now with not ever getting close to crashing. Actually the only minor crash I have had (broke prop) was due to trying a loop as low as possible and the power cut out just as I was mid loop. I knew I shouldn't have tried that as far into the flight as I was. Oh well. In any case I highly recommend the slow stick. Have a 2 cell 2100 mha battery coming. Looking forward hopefully to long flights.
