Yeah, to me, hobbico/flyzone has 3 fairly good models (there may be more, i dont know), the ventura, the sky pilot, and the voyager II... i think the ventura may be the best for a beginner (not that i would really know.. im new myself), because the sky pilot seemed a bit more fragile than the ventura. the ventura has a single 380 motor (in reply to your question) as well as the sky pilot, and i think that may be a better approch, but im not really one to be giving that kind of advice.. i acually have a ventura, there is a couple bugs that can be worked out, first of all when you get it take off the nose cone and tighten the motor mount screws, especially after a crash on the nose.. and always make sure you have a fully charged battery.. those 2 things can make things not fun if not taken care of, also make sure is a calm day (aka no wind of course), dont learn that the hard way like i did.. oops
