Hello,

I recently have been getting into RC, and bought a Firebird Commander. I'm still flying the same one (although I think I have given this thing about 4 lives... I seem to be pretty good at repairing some pretty devistating crashes). I am looking to move on to a 3ch. plane (I need elevator!!!) but i'm not sure where to go next. I have looked at the Aerobird Extreme, as well as a few others, but I think I am doing that only because I already have a hobbyzone. I also would like to be able to fly in some heavier winds as well, as I almost lost her yesterday. I am thinking that I would like to build one as well, but am not sure what kits are good for semi-beginners... I am pretty crafty, so I dont think I would have too much trouble with something a little more intermediate. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott
