READY TO FLY STARTER PLANES - Electric Parkflyers
No building - they practically fly right out of the box
These also glide well so you can thermal soar
with them under the right conditions.
Slow-V from Parkzone - $140 - Space CL2/3
Best flown in still to under 5 mph breeze. This is the best choice for people
who only have a small space to fly or who have an indoor place to fly, such as
a gym or
similar space.

Aerobird Challenger - RTF Electric - $150 - Space CL1
Great keep in the car plane - take off the wing and it goes back in the box!
I started on an Aerobird RTF. I have over 350 flights on my Aerobirds. I
also thermal
and slope soar this plane. Flies well and stands up to hard landings. Their
add on fun accessories for night flying, air to air combat and drop module add
to the fun!

Firebird Freedom - RTF Electric - $140 - space CL1
This is a three channel plane that incorporates electronic anti-crash
technology which actively monitors the plane's orientation, as it relates to
the ground and sky, and cuts the motor, in tandem with giving neutral steering
and up elevator, if the plane enters a steep dive. This causes the plane to
come out of the dive so the user can regain control. Once pilots gain
experience flying, they can increase maneuverability and overall control by
turning ACT off via the switch on the transmitter
Two piece wing that fits neatly back in the box.. Includes charger and
battery, radio and all that is needed to start flying. .
