How's the Easy Star RTF?
 

Hi, I was thinking about getting a Easy Star. I just starting into the hobby. I'm thinking of getting the RTF version so I don't screw things up. How is it? How's the stock motor, esc, battery and the charger. Is it better to just get the kit and buy the stuff seperately? Should I just go into LiPo right away. If so, what stuff should I be getting. THanks

Great plane easy flying I testtopped a kids and then he had to take the radio from me. All stock things are great. Awsome plane

Great first plane and many experience flyers buy them as keep in the car planes because you can fly it as a parkflyer, an electric launched sailplane or a slope glider. It does it all!


Easy Star - RTF - $170 - Space CL1
Believe this goes easily back in the box to keep in the car
Super tough foam. Comes with 72 MHz radio in the US.
Good parkflyer and a good glider
Radio in RTF package can be used to fly other planes

The easystar flies best with 8 cells. a lot of the RTF kits only include a 6 cell pack.

Stockdaddy is right. The RTF comes with an 6 cell pack. It will fly the plane fine in under 5 mph winds, but it struggles with anything ore than that. 7 cells would be my recommended minimum pack and 8 cells is best.

YOu can go Lipoly, but the stock motor really doesn't like going to 11 volts.
