Default Best Park Flier for my wife

Hello, I'm looking for advice on the best choice of an ARF Park Flier for my wife. She handles a Senior Kadet on a buddy cord just fine, but is a little intimidated by the size and investment of the Kadet. She very much wants to learn to land, but also wants to learn at her own pace. She has expressed interest in a Park Flier as an intermediate step. Which of the current crop of ARF Park Fliers would be best? She already has her own Tx. Thanks, Warhwk.

Do you want a kit or ARF? How big is your park? I need the answers to give any advice.
Cheers,
Grant

I am definately looking for an ARF. The flying area of the Park is about the size of a football field (150' 300') Warhwk

I taught my wife with the Great Planes Escapade. I was going to sell it now that she has moved on, but she wont let me...

For a nice complete package that works I would have to recommend one of the GWS stick planes. I have gone through several. I have even hit my flying partner with one, no damage to either party.

Default Thanks!

She ended up picking up a Wattage Impress. (The one with ailerons). I flew it a few times and I added a rudder to it mixed with ailerons 50/50. Its a nice smooth flier. I'm getting about 7 min with a 600ma 8 cell NiCd/APC 9-4. Thanks for everyones help!
