okay thanks. im not really going to be looking at nitro powered planes since in planes i want only electric. would you say a parkflyer would be better for flying around a school field?

In which case you're on the wrong forum, and can probably get better advice from the the specialist electric fliers. This forum (1/8A-1/2A) deals largely with internal combustion powered models using 0.010-0.05 cu ins engines, though sometimes larger engine sizes are discussed.

I know loads of plane guys that call it nitro i call them glow because they got glow plugs. a parklyer would be probably the best suited to fly around a school sports field and you probably know this already but you should be able to fly most high winged pretty easily so if you go with a small high winged model you probably cant go wrong, i think cubs are great to learn with you can usually pick them up pretty cheap any more questions just post here or PM me.
