RE: E flite Apprentice vs Hangar 9 Alpha...

To be clear, if I get the mustang (will hopefully come to a final decision in the next few days) I fully intend to use all of the "training wheels" from the get go, and seek instructor help. Even if...

RE: E flite Apprentice vs Hangar 9 Alpha...

The electrostick is interesting, but like most of the big electrics, too pricey. Its $219, and I would have to add a spektrum dx5e system for $100, lipo battery for $100, plus a balancer for...

RE: E flite Apprentice vs Hangar 9 Alpha...
