Default RE: BNF Recommendation

I'll second Hobbyzone Super Cub BNF. I have one and love it. I just got a simulator back in December, bought a Hanger 9 P-51 Mk II PTS RTF and just started flying. I buggy corded once. Had a friend take off and land for me twice and then took over all the duties. I've flown the Super Cub in 15+ mph winds and it just floats along like a glider in thos speeds. My P-51 didn't last very long since I didn't know how to tune an engine and it died on my turn into final. With an electric, you don't have to tune so its not a problem.

I've never flown one and its not BNF, but the Multiplex FunCub looks like it could handle a little rougher country with its big wheels, and I can't imagine it is too hard to build.

If you get the Hobbyzone Super Cub, just make sure you find a model in your simulator that is a 3 channel like the cub. they do handle a little different, and you'll need to practice just a bit before flying. I don't think you'll need anyone to help you fly the cub if you've play with the simulator a lot.
