Hi, I'm a newb too, and I just wanted to make sure you have a look at the T-Hawk before you make your final decision. I suspect that when you find a club to go to, everyone will be flying nitro, and they will steer you towards nitro because of their own bias. Electric is cleaner & cheaper to get into.

Anyhow, before you buy, have a look at this baby. It even includes spare parts that you're likely to break when you crash.
