This is one of THE best you can buy for a beginner, not the Shockflyer etc. WHy? This plane will not need a brushless to enjoy all the 3D you want, just get any 3S lipoly and she will give you very good vertical on the 9x5 prop. Go to the website and see what the owner's son can do with the plane! I would die to be able to do 0.1% of what he can do!

One warning, please use glass tape on the wing, I came down from a dive and pulled up hard, the carbon snapped, was my fault, so reinforce it a little.
