Stay away from the electric foamies for now. You will trash it in a flight or two. I just sold mine. It is fun to fly for a day or two, but you can't do a lot with it. It won't handle much wind and is very brittle.

thats a pretty negative post, to a beginner , he cant do alot with it anyway, all he needs to practice is takeoff and landing and have some fun just floating around , with a big ole smile on his face knowin he's flying this thing,, wind is fun with my stick I can make mine hover horizontally in a 5 mph wind and just make it go straight up and down, so papa keep readin , look at the posts and sites and remember you dont have to have it today!!
