hi, ive just been reading through the forum and i am also a new flyer, i started my love of flying with a terrible air hogs defener which was two channel but used very unconventional controls. i then went and bought a silverlit bi plane and on clam days would be very fun to fly and crash into branches etcbut weighing around 20 grams and made out of tough epp foam didn't gain a dent... after saving up 85 pounds (about 145 dollars) with the intention of buying a firebird freedom from hobbyzone i found the parkzone slo-v for alot less. since i have had that i have had endless fun and although i have been racing nationally with 1/10th touring cars 3ch flying has been a walk in the park (fly in the park) i strongly recommend this for anyone flying during the summer breezy british months and even in light rain as i found yesterday.
i am currently upgrading it as i have heard it can be even better.
just as the original poster of this forum i will be purchasing a faster heavier plane for the winter months however as it can get a bit hairy at times.

i love to see such open advice on a site. keep up the good work
