RE: firebird scout
I have one I bought last fall. They fly fine but need a good amount of room for a beginner (like myself), I crashed mine a bunch of times, if it weren't for the rubber nose it would be toast! Needs a lot of turning room I find. I was able to get one circle completed a few times and land alright a few times but they are FAST. Unless you have a LOT of room go with a slower plane like a slo-v or get an Air hogs Aero Ace!
