i have the alpha and its been nice to learn on. you should do a few upgrades first... (1) use loctight on the screws that hold the motor mount to the firewall, i lost 2 in the first day...(2) epoxy the wing halves together. (3) put a piece foam behind fuel tank to make it tighter. (4) check the fuel lines, had two with pin holes. The prop. will break very easy, so think of getting 2 more of them or get a spinner nut and some 2 bladed props (10x6)... have fun i am ........spooner
