The link I went to from your post was the T-34 Mentor for $449.00. Personally I don't think that's a reasonable price. One really nice thing about it is the DX6i radio. But other than that...... I've been flying for over a year and have 9 planes but I would consider this over my head.

I don't know what your first 2 planes are but you might want to look at hobby zones t-28 Trojan. If you are looking for an RTF you can pick this one up, that includes a pretty decent radio (No DX6i for sure, but decent) for only $219. Even if you buy the Trojan and the DX6i radio when it comes out in a few months you would have saved youself over $50.

Another reason I would take the T-28 over the mentor is because it's foam. Tons easier to repair if necessary. I don't know about you but I still crash enough that I don't want to spend all my time fixing planes and the T-34 is Balsa and plywood. Much harder to repair.

I mention this also because the T-28 is a beautiful looking and flying plane. And it is a fighter Trainer just like the T-34

Here is a link to the most current posts in a T-28 forum right here at RCU http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_57...29/key_/tm.htm
