I don't think anyone asked if you had a preference for Electric or Nitro.

I started on an electric fomie, the Easy Star which is a great plane and takes a lot of abuse. However, I wanted to get into Nitro so I then purchased the Hanger 9 Alpha 40 RTF package (2.4GHZ). This is also a great trainer and flew pretty well right out of the box.

I also flew my son's new SuperCub which was a great plane until he insisted on pulling the transmitter out of my hand and nosed it into the ground.

So to summarize...

EasyStar
Alpha 40
Hobby Zone Super Cub
