If there is a Source by Circut City Store nearby there are soem 2ch dual prop driven jets that are made the same way as the aero aces but they fly differently and they can handle smaller winds but more than the airhogs jets. They also can do hammerheads, knife edge and loops when you are ready. The best looking and most indestructable is the Iron Man F-18 jet. Mine has crashed many times and has been lost for a couple days in winter and still flies to this day! I lost the landing gear but still hand launches very well. $30-40 very good. My sister is training on mine, she is getting a lot better. And when you master the 2ch it is easier to control the bigger ones. A good "real" plane would be the MiniMag from Multiplex. Very stable and is a touchy on controls but once you know that, it is a great parkflyer to fly. I like it because the gliding on it is very good even though it is a cessna type. $200 but pretty solid for crashes i got about 4 crashes and only the prop falls off. No problem just some CA and its flying again!
