Yea i just got the jan. issue of Model Airplane news, read the article andthen made this post. I,m a newbie to this sport and i went to the local hobby shop last weekend. I was looking at the prices of the planes and this one looked the best a $310 especcially since it had all the radio stuff and engine already installed. I'm asking for a plane for christmas and i think this one is going to be it.
