whats your budget, and exactly how big is your flying space? foamys are OK, the flatouts are rubbish, if you want a decent foamy you can go wrong with a standard ikarus shcoky. However, if you have a slightly larger flying space, its worth stepping up to a 300W style airframe. my favorite is the multiplex acromaster, about 70 quid from inwood models, about 100 for motor, 35-40 for a decent lipo, and of course the radio. Flies really stable, smooth, yet can 3D awesome. will also fly in a very small space with the CG back and the throws cranked up, but leave that until later

a normal rec or something is enough to fly it.
