its not , i can recommend you a much better plane

these are the two best planes for your money hands down, the first one being the super cup from hobbyzone. Its durable and easy to fly.

The second one is the slow stick by GWS. Its hailed as the most versitile and expandable park flyer out there and can be upgraded with tons of modifications.

I live by an old airfield, though it's well past it's prime, I don't even think it's legal to take off/land your plane there anymore. Anyway, I always see R/C pilots using the runway to launch their planes. And I've often thought about joining them, but I'm not sure I have the time or money right now. Maybe at some other point though...

Thanks for the recommendations.
Im loving the look of the GWS one.
Are they available in europe?
How does it cope with wind? (Denmark is a windy place...).

Edit:
The hobbyzone looks quite good too and is avalible in Denmark. Guess its time to go talk with the finance miniser (ie. the wife)

well the slow stick is tricky because you have to build it and buy more parts for it. thats why its so cheap.

bur the supercub is a really great buy and its pretty big so the wind wont effect it much
