Hi Guys,
My first, But most definitely not my last post in these forums.
I have ordered my APM 2.0 for my Quadrocopter, and now I am looking to buy a plane that I can also use for FPV flying and as a UAV.
I have been doing a little reading and I was settled on the Bixler from HobbyKing:

It seems it flies well and has usable space.
But after a bit more shopping I have come across this Plane which seems like it will be better:

It cost a few dollars more, but it seems to have a bigger cockpit, can carry 300grams more in flight, and has a nice Look to it as well, which is always good :)
Before I buy the aircraft, I just want to make sure I'm in heading in the right direction and if there are any tips anyone can give me before I Mess up along the way, I would gladly appreciate it.
thanks!

Hey guys. First post here, but not my last. I am looking to build my first uav/fpv plane. I have been searching for a plane that looks nice that would also perform well. I was wondering what your opinions on this plane would be. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=...
I like the fact that it is a scale version of a real uav, and it looks like it has plenty of room for electronics. The landy gear is nice as well. I know the bixler seems to be a good beginner plane, but if I could use something more in this direction I would be happier. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks in advance!
Just found another good plane to use:

Please also consider this one.
thanks,
