my first electric plane was a multiplex easystar that i bought in 2001. they are a great plane to fly and learn on. they fly best in calm conditions and light winds. i flew it with the stock brushed motor and still have it to this day. a couple of years later i bought another easystar and this time i fitted it out with a new brushless motor. all in all i believe its the best electric plane for a beginner. hope u have a good time with yours. ps. i put some clear glass tape on the bottom of the fuselage to protect it from hard landings. does a good job.
