I'm thinking of getting into this RC stuff. Finances are the only thing that would hold me back. I already have an aeroace.

These are 2 planes that I would also be interested in as they are both around $100. My question is with the electronics, mainly radio. Is there any thought to which one is better (disregarding range). I think the throttle on the T-Hawk is a slide if I'm not mistaken and the Sky Fly is an actual dual stick. Or am I mistaken? I like the idea of starting right off the bat with the dual sticks of the Sky Fly.

So, that said... Thanks for the info in this thread. Unless I can get the cash up for an Easy Star, the Sky Fly I think is my choice. I just like the idea of normal tailfeathers rather than the V-tail. Don't know why? Just do.

Unless I can pick up a used radio/reciever from a coworker cheap. Then I'll go with a reciever ready Easy Star or build something from FFF. Problem with that will be cheap to a poor hourly employee will probably be far far less than cheap to the 4X-my-salary plant manager, LOL.

Anyone want to buy a 1983 Honda Nighthawk CB550SC so I can get flying? LOL.
