Firebird Scout or Commander???

[jetboy11914]

I'm having a difficult decision over which Firebird model I would like. I have heard rumors from my local hobbyshop that the Scout tends to nosedive alot and definitely is prone to wind. I can understand the wind aspect, but nosediving, a review I read said the plane has more of a tendency to climb too fast. The commander is 85 bucks but i only have 50 on me right now. Just wandering which model you guys think is better and flies better??
thanks for your help

A great plane to learn on is the "Airhogs Aero ace" You can get it at wal-mart for 40$ Here is a link to another thread about the Aero ace.http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=444953

That is a good trainer to. Fly with ACT on at all times exaept for when you get good at it. Remember fly 3 mistakes high so if you made a mistake you have time to recover. Your first time flying, Fly in 0 to 2 mph's of wind. New flyers are afraid to fly hight up becus they are afraid the plane will go out of range. Most hobbyzone planes, The range is about 2500 ft. (pretty much as far as you can see) And choose a wide open space with no trees. Example of 3 mistakes high. Example.



3 mistakes high-------------------------- ---------




2 mistakes high-------------------------



1 mistake high----------------------
