| I think you'll enjoy the Hornet. I have owned both the CP and FP. The FP is simpler to build and set up, but is trickier to fly, particularly in forward flight. The CP is less forgiving of poor setups, but flies much better, particularly in winds. If the setup and weight is correct, they fly very nice with NiMH batts, which means even better performance with LiPos. If you're getting a FP, you might want to start off with the HS-50 servos, since they're a little lighter, and when you upgrade to the CP, you won't have to start again with new servos. My FP flew very well, once I got used to the pitching recovering from forward flight, a nemesis of FP helis.
Best of luck
Mike
