RE: Really need help with plane selection!!!!
Check out the U-Can-Do planes. They fly great and are pretty capable planes, and fly well on a Magnum .91 4-stroke.
I like to have enough power in my planes, and if you're talking about trying to hover, you need all the power you can get, especially when learning.
To me, there is nothing worse than setting up a plane, especially with a nice engine, and finding out you wished you had more power. Totally kills the spirits.
