Choosing My First Plane

At first I was really set on buying a 5 CH 2.4GHz BlitzRCWorks Gray BZ-16 Pro 3D Thrust Vectoring Aerobatic Radio R/C Electric Ducted Fan RC Fighter Jet RTF.  However, after much research and deliberation I decided that the R/C Jet may be a little to advance for a beginner like myself.  With a hurt pride, I decided my first plane really should be a trainer, so I decided to go with a 4 CH 2.4GHz Art-Tech Flight Trainer V2 Aerobatic Radio Remote Control Electric RC Airplane RTF.  I really wanted to find a good beginner plane with a brushless electric motor that would fly stable, but also allow me to perform aerobatics one I got the hang of things.  Also, the model I chose had everything needed to fly right out of the box, which was a big plus, not to mention an assembly time of only a few minutes.  One big plus about this model is that it has a flight time of 20 minutes off of one battery, which is fantastic.  It will be coming with a flight simulator for my computer to allow me to practice flying my plane with my transceiver before actual flight.  I plan on using the simulator for a while so I can get comfortable with take offs and landings so I don’t crash my plane on my first flight.  I can’t wait till Christmas to get here so I can’t start learning how to fly my new R/C plane!
