it's god to start with a 3 ch.

I don't recommend the firebird phantom, it breaks too easy.

I just got a sky fly for x-mas, and already i'm flying like a pro.

The ONLY time i broke something was when i ran straight into a tree when a strong gust of wing moved my plane, and all i broke was the main wing. That was $10 to get a brand new one.
