Hey Igor,
I'm new to the hobby in both helis and planes.
If you have experience with building then you'll probably be ok.
Your best bet is getting down to the field and having a chat with the guys like skidz. Wealth of knowlege and information.
The cheap frame certainly a plus, but be prepared to have to replace certain parts fairly quickly.
If I had built mine correctly and not been stupid main shaft n tail still would be ok. But be prepared to replace some things very quickly.
I know several ppl who have had no problems n plenty that have.
Certainly a good radio is a start. I got my dx8 n was doing lots of SIM time.
Hopefully it'll mean when I do finally succeed in getting the bird airborne I'll be better equipped.
Bit of extra money sometimes doesn't go astray!
