I agree. You really need to go to the electric forums. Good luck.

Steelersfan, You didn't state your interest, glow or electric...or are you open to either?? Although I don't personally own one, I would certainly recommend the Great Planes Escapade with most any .46 2-stroke engine. These are very inexpensive, just about a throw together as far as construction goes and the plane gives you more than your moneys worth while wringing it out. If you read the RC Universe tread on this plane you can beef it up where required and pretty much rip some pretty high speed stuff or fly it slow and gentle. The guys at our field aren't even using dual rates with this bird, they're learning it's flight charactaristics then going to high rate throws with lots of expo dialed in. Good luck and good flying!
