I'm just glad your into rc at your age. I wish I had started earlier. I know money is reaal tight and getting what you want is hard when your young. But if you really want it just wait a little longer. They are a great plane and I doubt they will stop producing them. Parents are so hard to raise, but you'll be suprised at how much they will learn in a feww more years. Don't go behind their back, my girlfreind always busts me for a new plane. But I am honest with her about it. I have never lied to her about a plane. She may not like it when I say Look What I Got but at least she respects me for owning up to my purchases! I'm trying to see how hot the water will be if I bring in a 1/3 scale areobat! May have to wait a while yet
