i would say get a hitec skyscooter. while i normally would also recommend he ezstar, the ezstar uses standard servos. of course you can just carve new holes for mini ones if you wanted. the skyscooter would allow you to just plug everything in and fly.

i would say the kamdax planes are good 5th planes. even the gas versions are hard to fly even by the OWNER OF THE COMPANY. yes, i have seen the owner of kamdax flying his planes and i've seen them break into a thousand pieces right in front of me (he has NOT passed pilot etiquette). he takes out the glue and some tape and within a few hours, he's back flying. so they aren't difficult to fix.

kamdax planes need a lot of speed to fly. they aren't slow flyers so you probably didn't give it enough ooomph in the run and toss and you probably tried to get it to gain altitude too soon, stalled and crashed. even watching the owner fly, you really have to let it stay level for a long time until the plane builds up speed and then start climbing. it is about the worst first plane you can buy. first since they are both duct fans, they have no prop wash so none of the control surfaces are effective until speed is built up. second since the mirage is a narrow delta wing, it is very unstable at low speed and high angle of attack. i'd suggest you reconsider this plane altogether. buy yourself a skyscooter and learn to fly. then buy yourself a warbird. then maybe, just maybe, you're ready for this mirage.
