Default RE: plane help

I would think that the place that sells them should be able to get parts.

However, if you're fairly confident with your skills, or you have an instructor to help you out, I would suggest stepping up to something a little more...well...just a little more.

Something like a Mini Ultra Stick (http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=EFL2350). They can be aerobatic, but they can also slow down for someone with moderate piloting skills. The link there is the Plug-n-Play version which has everything you need, pre-installed, except the radio and battery pack. I would say it's something that could improve your skills as well as serve you well once you get better. In other words, you won't get bored with it any time soon.

You might want to look around a bit more to see what's available. I'd move up to a built-up balsa ARF at the very least. I think they fly better and can handle more wind that the small foamies.
