Yah Im 14, know the feeling.

the hot knife, hmmm, never seen one fly, but for me the wing looks a little small. Not a bad lookin plane other than that. If you a builder than try www.ohiomodelproducts.com they have tons of 40 size profiles that are sweet. I bought a Bad Boy from www.precisionaerobatics.com in December and have been flying it for a while now. It is a great plane and the V2 looks sweet as, if you can find the $240, including shipping get one with a 50 2/s and you on your way. And believe me if I can find 240, than anyone can. Im saving for a 35%er (that I want by the end of high school) trouble is I need a damned car[:@]

If you dont wanna go glow get yourself a shockyflyer, Modleflight sell them, a Himax 2808-980, a E-Flite 370 (modelfight as well) or an AXI 2808-34, with some lipos and that will teach you just as well. Im putting together a T3D CapII at the moment and cant wait to fly it.

Hope that hepled,

Fly-guy
