RE: very inNewbie needs help
If you are hooked on an RTF, look at the Parkzone Typhoon. Probably the best RTF for a 3D Foamie. I would highly recommended to go ARF, just based on my RTF experience, and have a little better quality gear. But everyone's needs/preferences are a little different. For a first 3D plane, ARF, take a look at the E-Flite YAK54F or the Airfoilz YAK. I prefer the E-Flite version.
