T Hawk vs. Aerobird

I am about to buy my first trainer. I realize that if I enjoy the hobby, this will not be my last purchase. I am looking for some knowledge that only comes with experience.

The Aerobird models have the ability to use the xport for the combat module. The T Hawks have more power and have true elevators. Which would you buy?

Are those my only choices? For the same price I would take the thawk, assuming it came with a single stick transmitter.

Hi, i bought an Aerobird, i was a total newbie and found it very forgiving and impact resistant (in moderation of course), don't forget to throttle back after launch, trim for level flight at half throttle, sounds daft not to but in all the excitement it is easy to forget and the bird is very nippy for a learner plane, i have impacted into the ground at 30mph and come off fairly unscathed.

There are several different Aerobirds. I like the Commander, which does have elevator.

The T-Hawk also has separate radio components . . the Aerobird components are combined on a module which is difficult to adapt to other airplanes. One downside for both is potential radio interference on the 27MHz open frequency.

The EasyStar Ready-To-Fly is available for around $150 (perhaps less on Ebay). If you reside in North America, the radio is on the 72MHz dedicated model aircraft frequency. The foam used is very resilient and durable, and the plane has very stable flying characteristics.

Thanks, this was my first usenet post also, it's great to get feedback..... I'll look at the commander more closely.
