And i flew it, haha. I didn't want to jump into gas without instruction, so i got a Firebird Freedom, to learn before getting a gas. Flies well, and had little trouble., except when the battery died.. I've had experience with r/c cars, but this is my first plane. (I have flown others though) I like it alot, and may be selling my cars for a gas plane. I love this electric! It's my secnd day and I can do loops and tail slides! Plenty of power to climb too!
