i have a commander now and im woundering if the aerobird challanger is a good plane to get.im 11 years old and just got my commander about a year ago.

No, I would get something a little more advanced but you are the only one that really knows you skills. The challenger is pretty much a beginners plane from what I understand. go to a glow trainer but if you cant get something like a Zagi, those are cool or I think its called a stryker by H9.

The AB Challenger will be a nice step up for you, and the pitch (elevator) control will let you advance. If you are pretty good with the FB Commander, you could also consider one of the new Parkzone planes... The PKZ Stryker is the MOST advanced of these, so it is the biggest jump.

Get a good high wing trainer. Learn to use ailerons. You should be ready. Few buddy box flights, you'll be good to go!

hobbydawg,

Seeing as how you are 11 I'd say get the aerobird and enjoy. If after that R/C airplanes still hold your interest then follow some of the other advice given and get a glow or Higher performance electric plane and join a club
