Hey guys,I'm new to the scene and I have a few questions.After reading the "Getting Started" guide, I'm considering getting the Dynam Hawk Sky. Most online retailers are sold out, but I happened across this website.http://www.killerplanes.com/product/dynam-hawk-sky-rtf-72mhz-4-channel-epo-rc-airplaneThis website offers "Crashproofing" for the Hawk Sky at an extra premium. What do you guys think? Is it worth it? Here is a website with a build log from somebody who recently purchased one. It seems legit, but I'm not sure if it would be worth an additional 75$.http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1458478Also, I would like to practice for a while before I fly an RC plane. Does anybody have any suggestions for a good, cheap RC flight simulator?Oh and one more question. Could somebody point me in the direction of a link where I can find out about stream video from an aircraft?Thanks for the help,Tweeter

Well not having any experiance with their crash kit, I will not comment other than for $38 it could be worse if you get the extra life out of the plane.
I will tell you that for about $10 you can get low-heat monocoat type covering. Use an iron on low heat setting with a tee-shirt over the heated portion of the iron to adhear the covering to the foam. Following the instructions with the covering you WILL expand the life of your plane. I use multi-strand packing tape to reinforce the wing tips and leading edge first and maybe weaker points around the plane, like near the cockpit. Then cover the plane.
Coverings made for foam will do the trick and make the plane look cool...
