Teh-Kraken, there are a great number of hobby shops in Melbourne, If electric is to be your choice , then the Freedom Flyer seems to be very popular here. So check with your hobby shop as he may have others available to choose from . Secondly i would recommend you find your nearest flying club , and talk to some of the members there on a weekend. Not only will they give free lessons on how to fly , but will also help you in making a good choice .
Bill.
