Hi, i am new to the rc world even though as a kid i raced rc cars (its been a while).


i am extremely interested in getting into building and flying rc airplanes. i have spent lots of time on the REAL FLIGHT G4 FLIGHT SIMULATOR and find it quite easy to fly all the airplanes there.

questions:

1. what are the servo functions on a plane that runs off 4 channels and 5-6 servos? i have seen 4 channel-4 servo setups before, but some i see have 5 or 6 servo setups. are these planes harder to fly (in other words, are there more variables in keeping the planes up in the air?)

2. i am looking at buying a plane...what should i buy electrick, nitro or gas? which is better?

i have seen this plane that has recently come out called the ST MX2 which is electric, comes with a brushless motor and is madeof EPO foam. i was thinking about that one...any one have any ideas?
