Exactly what Bruce and Ken said. I have both a NextStar and Alpha 60, but have given instruction on the Alpha 40 so I'm familiar with it's characteristics which is virtually identical to the 60 size. While both a gentle flyers, they both will fly a lot faster than what you're used to. If you can handle you typhoon then you have a leg up on others just starting out, but you will need an instructor to get you going. Dealing with a nitro engine is a whole new world, and the planes will be much larger and heavier translating into faster in all respects. With a nitro plane thing can happen very quickly and you'll need the instructor to both trim out the plane and help you adjust to its particular flight tendencies.
