Got a guy who wants to trade me a GeeBee profile .40 kit for a 5 ch. radio that I have. Are these good planes, it would be my first kit. I know its an advanced plane, so it would be atleast my second plane. I didn't really consider any profile planes for 2nd or even 3rd planes.
You never mentioned what 5ch radio you are putting on the trading table... If it's an old 72 MGhz model then do it... If it's the new one from Horizon that is 2.4 GHz then I probably would not. Oh, and does your 5ch radio have computerized mixxing or is it just a standard radio... Is it an "extra" radio or are you going to have to replace it after the deal (were you planning on replacing it anyway?) Odds are good this guy wants to trade because he decided he would never build the kit himself. Will you? There are a lot of factors that we do not know.
