RE: long range plane
speedster, the F-22 is an awful airplane for a total newbie.
I've flown one, and I seriously don't like it!
It flies too fast, gets too small too quickly, and is twitchy.
For your video plane, it's about as useless as anything could be.
Get a high-wing trainer. The Hangar 9 Alpha is good.
And just a note... you cannot fly an r/c airplane out of visual contact with the operator. It's illegal to do that!
