good second plane......?
hi, i am new to flying rc airplanes and just bought a cheap air hog from target .....i like it alot but it has to charge after every two flights and it takes 5-10 minutes to charge each time. I was wondering what a good, inexpensive plane would be for me that holds out a pretty long charge that i could fly around in the park pretty easily without getting it stuck in a tree. thnx
p.s i am not really looking to build a huge plane that i have to go out and spend $200 on....i want one that comes with mostly everything in it

The E-Flight ARF suggested by -EXTRA- is a very nice plane, but it's quite a bit more complex and expensive than the Air Hog that you're currently flying. My advice would be to check out the Hobbico Flyzone Mini Ventura:
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXJRB4&P=ML
It's a complete, ready-to-fly airplane like your Air Hog. It comes with radio and battery charger, and the nice part is the battery pack included with the plane is removable. You can buy extra batteries for $15~$17 each and charge one in your car while you fly with the other one. A Mini Ventura with two batteries can be flown all day until you get sick of flying.
There is a link to a video of the Mini Ventura in flight if you look at the above web page carefully.
Good luck and happy shopping!

WOW IT WORKED!
SORRY
I bought a Pilon Racer Plane for my first plane and I can fly it and land it real easy. I guess all the games have paid off.
I have a OS 50 SX Ring engine and a 5ch rig on a 40 size blackhorse speedair.... I rock!!! I made it into a tail dragger though............................................ ...........................
