go with the fighterbird

it is great fun and indestructible.

if you do prang it, parts are readily available.

i bought my 2 boys one each and they have a ball.

we get no joy from labourously building complex models, we just want to fly. The FB was ideal for us.

at least it will give you a taste of flying and help you decide that flying models is for you.

Better still, con one of your mates to get one as well and start dog fighting!
