I have 4 3s EVO25 2170 lipos and a JR 9303X Tx for my helis. I also have an AR600 Rx and some servos. I really want a slower flying foamie trainer. A PNP would be ideal.

Any recomendations?

Thanks!

What is a PNP? Is that a type of electric trainer aircraft?

Happy Landings

They aren't really trainers and I would never recommend them as a first aircraft but someone in your shoes might be able to pull it off. Both come in a plug & play version and can be pretty tame if you take it easy and use the lower control throws. Actually, even higher throws don't make either plane too difficult.

I have both and love them.

Personally, I like to only fly NPN transistors.

PNP is a Horizon Hobbies acronym for "plug-n-play". Basically the plane comes with everything except a receiver and/or battery. Basically you do some minor assembly, plug in your receiver and go fly. It's neat but 20 minute assembly times take some getting used to.
