I was reading your post, s7 and I agree with going for the Super Cub from Hobbyzone....that plane is almost indestructable. I have had mine for a couple of months and for what I've put it through, it should be in a recycle bin. It is, however still flying ..with a taped up cowl, missing spinner, rear fuse broken twice and bent servo rods. This plane is a lot like the eveready bunny....keeps going and going and........besides everything else, it's a reasonable price whether you go with BnF or RTF. Here's a couple of pics of mine after the last incident I had with gravity...

be cool, man..
