I just bought smartech aerohawk from Hongkong's site. Its total cost US$256. Well, umm...its not easy as my first thought. As a beginner, its harder than its manual said. But I wont give up and still trying not to frustate too early. Maybe anyone have something to say too about the aerohawk or its brother skylark.

RE: help!!!!!!! looking to get into flying
I would also recommend the Corona for someone wanting to get into electrics. I recently bought a Hornet, which I found to be very unstable compared to my Century Hawk Sport Nitro. I just spent about a hundred dollars on upgrades which I'm in the process of installing. Hopefully it'll improve it's stability. Electric micros seem to be money pits, requiring a lot of upgrades to even get into the air, whereas a typical 30 size nitro or the Corona Electric will fly very well out of the box.
My opinion: Don't mess with any of the micros until you have some experience as they require a lot of fiddling.
