I'll be in California in a few weeks to visit my Skyfun that I keep at my Dad's house. oh btw, I'll also be visiting my Dad.

Before I leave, just want to recommend this Skyfun from Hobbyking, the plug and play model.

Once you've mastered the Cub and slow flying, the Skyfun is the perfect plane to be introduced to speedier models with some aerobatic ability.  It's designed more for high speed passes but also fun to fly inverted.  

If you can get one, I highly recommended it.  After you've seen all what the stock set up can give, go with a bigger motor and 4S lipo but watch out, the speed is addicting.
