Radio Control Rtf
Which Remote Control Plane should I buy?
Hi, I'm looking at two different rc planes, but don't know which one to buy.

The first one looks slightly better quality to me but it only has two servos (rudder and elevator), whereas the second one has three servos (rudder, elevator, and ailerons) but looks cheaper and lesser quality (excluding p+p, the second one is cheaper).
Which would be the best one to buy and likely be more reliable?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
You didn't mention your level of RC flying experience and I'm guessing by the fact that you're asking which of those planes to buy that you might not have much experience. So, if your only choices are between those two, I would pick the less expensive of the two as it will "hurt less" when it crashes.
If you're looking for something to learn on, I'd suggest something like a HobbyZone Champ - they're easy to fly, they come as a complete ready to fly kit, repairs are very inexpensive and they're extremely easy to find parts for. They're considered ultra-micros, having a wing-span of just over 20 inches and because of that you have to make sure there's not a lot of wind (5mph or less would be ideal)....but because they're ultra-micros you can fly it at a park. JettaManDan did a review on one on rcspeak.com - check it out: http://www.rcspeak.com/forums/content.php/185-HobbyZone-Champ-RTF-Review - Daniel lists the Champ for sale for 54.99 in the UK which seems to be on par with the planes you listed so it should be within your budget.
