Hi,
I started out with the FC2 and learned all about about flying. It has a lot going for it like rubber bumper nose which came in handy the only problem with the plane is that the control of up and down is controlled by the speed of the motor and the wind no elevator. When they say dont fly in wind trust me" DONT"!!! For the price you get everything. Parts are easy to come by. So for vote I say go for it and have a blast! I have since moved up to a stryker and really have learned about flying.. Hope this helps
