You will have a hard time beating the hobbyzone supercub... however its not a backyard flyer, it covers as much ground as you allow it.. it won't be blown around with a tiny breeze like the yard fliers. You will need room to fly it. Getting help is always smart unless you don't mind repair and parts replacement. AND YOU HAVE A LARGE AREA TO CRASH AWAY FROM ANYTHING... big field etc. The T-28 mentioned earlier flies nice as well, but I am not sure if it is as easy as the cub, and I BELIEVE the supercub would handle more damage...not positive about that..
