[8D] I would checkout the Pheonix Modles Dolphin sport 40, main reason: Its predictable handeling and wide range
of application makes this an excelent choice for beginners. w/ low rates on, its very easy to fly. O.S. 55max
make a great power plant. if you use the battery for final C.G. your about 5.2# - very light and afordable. $99.99 plane
and 159.99 for the os 55max. go with a 4.v battery, JR 126 sport servos & the new spectrum e5 with Ar500 reciever
and you have a bullet prof rig that will last for years
