Hey Ken , sorry to hear about ur plane..i would not want that to happen to me! and that is one reason i am worred about buying a plane over 150 dollars !! the trainers are always expensive i think .. i saw that if it is not a trainer it is cheaper !! i came to conclude that if the seller knows that he is selling a beginner the seller would take advantage of lake of price awarness... that is my opinion..
about being addicted i am already addicted to looking at them and searching for diff types online.....everyday i come online and search for the right plane ?! 4 ch is the best idea right now! what do i need to look at if i will be flying it in the desert ? no runway!! and it is really hot .. Not alot of nitro available around here ... please give me beginners tips as i do not really know much about rc planes..so be easy on the vocab!
