Default RE: Inexpensive and durable?

aesthetically, im not a fan of the aerobird.



I think Id like to go with either the hobbyzone super cub or bellanca decathlon 480.

They both have a 480 motor

The super cub has driveable rear wheel, which I think is good for a newb.

The super cub is three channel, where the bellanca is four. has ailerons but not setup in stock form?

There is a 25 dollar difference, decathlon being the cheaper yet has more potential??

I like the decathlon looks but figure If I went with the super cub, Id probably just paint it anyway, Id likely get more fun out of that than anything anyway.

Any comments?

Main thing I see, the super cub has the newb assist function and those that comment on the decathlon, say its a nice plane but not for the newb.

Anyone have a lead on a scratch/dent, reach cheap hobbyzone super cub?







now this is how my mind works.

this piece of crap cox flyboy im tinkering with has seen its last days. the battery is junk but the servo for the rutter works fine. whats the chances I could insert a new battery, find a cheap big ass foam glider, and transplant the motor/rotor, rutter servo over to that bad boy and make it a flyer?
