So after I pass my ''Wings A'' (see first post) and I lose the use of my clubs trainer plane, an Ultra Stick would be a great next step? It just confused me a little when you referred to it as a great second plane yet it'll be my first so I guess you were referring to the club trainer as the first plane? Haha sorry.
We think of the trainer as our first plane, just because it is owned by your club doesn't mater. In your case your flying your first plane right now.
The stick of any type is a great choice for anyone after flying a trainer. Tail dragger or trike gear makes no difference. I learned to fly with a tail dragger and I had more problems with flying a trike geared plane. I fly with a fellow that will fly nothing but electrics. He has a stick in 40 size and I think 60 size with electric power. He even has one 40 size e made into a twin for real windy days.
You mentioned the Pulse, it looks a lot hotter then it is, it's one jump above a trainer, get one if you like it and just convert it to electric. They are real floaters like a trainer and very easy to land.
At the moment I'm scratch building a pair of Swoose sea planes and they are both going to be electric. The fellow that I am giving one to and myself are just now looking through the net to see what motor and ESC we will be using. Just pricing things and getting measurements so I know where we will put things like the battery packs.
At the bottom of the header page is a web site called Wattflyer. It's a perfect place to find answers to all things electric.
Plenty of web sites to do your shopping too. I'm finding better places then Hobby King and they are here state side. When you phone there is a real person on the other end to talk to. I haven't ordered anything from them yet so I can't say anything about there service so I won't name the name yet.
