On this plane do yourself a huge favor and move the clips on the control horns for the elevator and ailerons down so that you have only 1/4" travel for the elevator and less than a 1/8" for the ailerons. Do this until you get real comfortable
ok, thanks for the advice. My main problem is setting up this new tx with it since it has that crazy SAFE mode thing.

I thought about buying an RC8B3E, but I just don't have the time for it.

I bought a Traxxas 1/16 ERevo VXL a few years ago. That thing was so stupid fast out of the box.

It was my graduation present from my parents. Well I say that, I think it was the "wow you actually got a real engineering job and moved to Silicon Valley with your girlfriend" present. None the less it was right at $1000 for everything and super fun to build and piddle with. This was in 2000.

Luckily I had it hanging on the wall above the water line in Katrina. I lost everything that I need to run it, but I got a new lexan top for it and painted it up. It just sits on my chest of drawers waiting to be run again.

ETA: I bought my son a brushless RC boat for Christmas, called the Recoil. Thing is stupid fast.

I had a Kyosho Inferno at one time as well. I hated that thing. Way too much maintenance.
