Yes, the Ezone FAQ is an excellent place to start. Too bad we don't have a similar feature here yet... I'm sure it can be done, though. A working knowledge of Volts, Amps, Watts, series/parallel circuits, etc. is invaluable. Without it, you're pretty much dead in the water...

Your best bet starting out is to pick a plane with a known successful power system, like anything GWS makes. The Slow Stick is a good first plane for someone who hasn't flown anything before, ever. Just looking at the array of GWS planes based on a couple of different power systems, you can see how versatile an electric motor is. The nice thing about picking a plane where it's already been figured out for you is that you can see what goes into a successful plane.

Above all, if you have questions, ask them. The more specific the question, the better, but any old question will do. Try using the search feature too.
