RE: Help Me Pick My First HOTLINER
The Hawk F5B from icare rc is about as cheap as they get for great quality, and a wing that can take some G's.
It's $319.
I started with a GP Siren which is a lot of fun but you have to be really careful with that wing.
I'm just finishing up my Flash II Crabon which is my first High quality Hotliner. It's a bit pricey but all of the quality Hotliners that can take the speed are.
Otherwise check out the multiplex Blizzard. It's foam but I hear it's a nice cheaper option.
