the wing dragon was my first and only plane It can take ALOT of abuse, my little brother went up about 50-70ft and nose dived it into the ground at full speed and nothing happened to it other than a tiny dent on the air frame that we popped back into place. The plane is extremely stable and can glide very smoothy and has tons of power. It MAY not fly as good as the easy star but it still flies extremely good (never seen an easystar fly in real life, only on videos) but it can problably take more abuse and you dont need to build a kit all you got to do is put the wing on with rubber bands, install the tail and elevator, pop in the landing gear and your done! and if you still have trouble it comes with a video for your computer that shows you how to build it! just charge the batteries and fly!

I would deffinatly recomend this to any begginer, easy to build, comes with EVERYTHING you need, and can take more abuse than many beginner planes and if you destroy a part, replacement parts are cheap!
