thanks for the replies! i have been using RF G2 for quite a few months now and feel comfortable, but i know its a whole new ballgame when it comes to the real thing. I am planning on joining a local club and getting proper instruction.

i chose the avistar due to the semi-symmetrical wing that alot of people seem to enjoy due to the increased manueverability. i've wanted to get into this hobby for years and years but am having a hard time taking the final step, buying everything.

i guess i'm just looking for words of inspiration for a noob.

thanks!
