I have an aerobird challenger and I love it. After my first crash I haven't crashed it since. Now my first crash cost me a new fuselage and wing. It's easy to fly and after awhile you will be wanting to switch to pro mode to get it to respond faster. I only fly in pro mode now. Only thing I like about the T-Hawk different than the Challenger is that the parts are transferable to another plane after your ready. The Challenger is all proprietary, can't change to another plane. Another plane you might want to check out is the MountainModel Magpie. I'm thinking about ordering one of those next month. After I buy a radio that I can use on more than one plane.
