ten years ago nitro was where it was at. foam planes were too heavy and electric was too weak. now the foamies are gaining a following because they can take a pounding and electric has plenty of power and is more convenient.
if I did it over I'd get the ARF version, flysky 6ch radio, 800mah gen ace eco battery, and cheap lipo charger. for about the same price I would have a better radio that doubles as a sim controller and an equivalent battery and charger.
