Dunk1,

I also agree with Crashem's many good points.

If you like flying R/C, there are way better planes to fly even if you stay with park flyers. I also consider the Firebird types to be toys. I bought it for my son to start flying and found out that it's not the way to teach him. He is going to start training on a glow powered trainer this summer at our club.

If this is as far as you want to go then ok but it's a whole lot more fun flying real R/C planes.
