I wanted a better flute-but I'm only in 7th grade is this a good choice for me?
Also,I found one at $979.00 is this a good deal? What is a in-line G and a low B foot?

What is a in-line G and a low B foot?

The inline G is the two keys located on either side of the Ab key arm. They are either in line with the rest of the bigger keys on the body section or they are off-set. Most all of the beginner flutes have off-set G.
If you look at your flute's foot joint, you will see the one key that you should have your pinky on most all the time (Except for the fingering for D). Forget that key and look at the two other keys. They are for fingering the low C# and low C natural...the note on Pianos called middle C.) A flute with the low B foot section has three keys in line going to the end. C#, C, and low B.

I'm not affiliated with any company but one of the many good places to browse for flutes online is http://www.fluteworld.com/
They have many to choose from as well as a glossary of flute features page:

Although they don't sell the Armstrong line, the Armstrong flutes are a U.S. company that has been around for quite some time and have made loads of student flutes.

I own and play that particular model. I bought it new three years ago, and it has never disappointed me. It plays very easy and produces a great sound in all registers! The low notes come out very easily and sound very rich and clear, compared to some models which are often difficult to get a good strong sound from. At the moment I'm getting it overhauled, and I am playing on a Yamaha. But, I think my flute is even better than the Yamaha. Hope this helps in someway!
