Default RE: 1st Plane: Electric Trainer. THESE, or....

Thanks, all.

My only problem w/the Super Cub is that it comes with an AM radio and a brushed motor (I guess that's TWO problems ). So, yeah, it's a nice price, but brushless and 2.4ghz are both pretty big features for me.

But I found another plane @ Horizon; the E-Flite Apprentice 15e http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=EFL2725 Brushless, 5channel Spektrum radio..seems great. But there's that pesky $300 price (again), the 3200 mah batteries are pretty $$ compared to the others (mygod the Super Tigre ones for the Switch are 15 freakin' dollars!! http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXXGN1&P=SM )...the it doesn't have the auto-leveling feature (supercub & NexStar both have it, but I think you can add it on pretty easily to most planes).

AARGH...this decision is getting harder, not easier!!
