Pheonix make excellent ARFs. I've got the low wing version of this plane and it flies great however it's got a higher wing load then say a tower trainer so it won't be as "floaty". It is also tail heavy so you would need a .40-.46 to stick in the nose to keep it balanced (unless you just add weight). If you already know how to fly then this is an excellent warm up (the low wing would be even better )
