My budget is $150.00 your advise is welcome. I have my eye on these Areobird, Firebird XL, Megatech Airstrike, thank you and have a good day

What about the option "None of the above"?

i'll second that.
if you want something for a kid or to tool around in the back yard OK, but if you want someting to learn on that will "grow' with you or at least you can steal parts from in electric i like the picco stick (good stable flight) or the IFO (almost indistructable)

Is this $150 for everything plane, engine and radio?

I'll go with "none of the above."

Thats a good start arright! That is if you are willing to pay some more. Those that you mentioned are not.............lets say; they are not really proper "airplanes" : ).
Or try this; http://horizon.hobbyshopnow.com/prod...p?prod=GWS1000 i agree with Woodsy bout the stick. Or try the Cub/slowflyer http://horizon.hobbyshopnow.com/prod...p?prod=GWS1015
Thats also a good one. You can squeeze some loops with it : )
Or try the GWS zero with mild aerobatics.
Cheers!

DO NOT GO WITH MEGA TECH AIRSTRIKE bad, bad, plane shouldn't be able to sell these.

If you want ot enter the hobby, save up $500 and get a Hobbico Avistar ($300) and all of the field equipment that you will need.

Yes everything and realize that i have no job

No job and you want an airplane?? hmmm I'm thinking paper.

Get a job, as did I. Whork in the name of airplanes and the joy of flying!
That is if you are serious bout this stuff. And yapp, AVISTAR is the best as a first GLOW plane. But if you want electric then get the GWS stick.

BEG, BORROW, STEEL! Do what ever you have to do to get you $49.99 More! You get all the above for $199.99 Shipped! Everything you need to fly. When you want to upgrade, change it to glow. Have Fun!

is this a good start http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCTE7&P=0 because i can get the money faster and wind i get real good. At it i can save up $150.00 more and sell it for $100.00 and get 250.00!!! for a airplane too grow on

I have my eye on http://horizon.hobbyshopnow.com/prod...p?prod=MTC8803 too

the plane posted by daremn looks like a good option

I agree with the above. I learned on an Avistar, and now that I don't have it(crash), I miss it very much. I think someday, I will get another one. I've flown a few trainers since then and I still think the avistar was the best.
