I'd go for the X-Plane, don't crash though!! Quite a lot of money to squander. Maybe if its your first remote control plane you should buy a cheaper one 😳
I like the Xplane and camera 👍 ,but only one pic per flight 
So for me I would buy the flight control and headphones 😉
Pilot,I think the x-plane's really neat with all the accessories,and i already had a nice rc glider,so i've been searchin for somethin motorized.I'm still a more or less newbie with rc planes, but i took lessons with a gas engined rc plane and i got my licsence,but still...I'm not that sure...
TTT,the x-52 is hyper cool,and i love the throttle and the lcd screen on it,and i think i need a new joystick,Cause now i've got a saitek st90,good grip,but a hyper crummy button throttle,the headphone are really good to.But i still don't know...
The X-Plane will get old fast but the saitek will be a pleasure for years.
Buy a cheaper RC if you want, don't get the headset and add some money to it.
Ask for the headset for Christmas or birthdays.

yeah,i guess your're right ,rm,i can probably resolvemy rc craving with my rc chopper and blimp,and i can also use the joystick every time i'm on the pc,but the plane only when i'm at my rc plane club and when there's good weather.the saitek also cost's less,so i'll have 30€ left,and i also know that soon i'll be gaining another 60€,so i'll still have a total of 90€,after i bought the x52.I guess i'll do that,but i wonder,it said on the box that the joystck was only made for windows 2000,xp,and nt.I have xp,but what if i buy vista in a month???Will i not be able to use the joystick anymore,or will they make an update?
Vista won't be out until the end of the year, a beta will be out next month (#2).
Since the X52 is fairly new my bet is that they will have new drivers for Vista.
There's no guarantee for that, you could always e-mail them first and ask them if they are planing on updating it.

I have a Sidewinder Precision Pro2 USB and right now I couldn't ask for more.
I doubt that It will work in Vista so I'll be buying the X52 or a yoke for it.
Enjoy the stick it looks like a winner!
Yeah,i can't get it today,because it's sunday and the shops are closed but i'll get tomorrow!I'll review it here.
