i have read about the hanger 9 trainer and the evolution engines some have told me they werent the best choice for a beginner, but its not entirley true with all things i have purchased plenty of things that i had been told were crap and they turned out to work fine so who knows. but i was also kinda looking for somthing cheap under 300 dollars if possible. i have considered the hobbico superstar my father owns a superstar 60 and he has flown it 3 times since the beginning of the summer but i was also kinda looking for somthing different from his.
