I have been flying the little Flyzone Beaver and it is a great little plane ...I think it is a perfect place to start .. It is cheap and flys well...I bought mine without the transmitter because I don't need another transmitter.. I just put one of my own recievers into it and went from there...For $200.00 you get a neat little plane.. I love the lite system...The flaps work great too...It is a bit small ... You get 10 min flights easily .. I am not much on electrics but things like this are good reason to try it out... There is another one you might want to take a look at.. I have it and I just love it .. It is the Little Electric I Con put out by Parkzone , It is an absolute riot to fly , You can get it BNF or PNP .. It is a flying boat , pusher prop type and easy to fly...You just take it to the field or pond fully assembled and away you go...After you get hooked you will probably want too get something bigger.. High wing planes usually make good float planes.. Cubs are nice on floats...A trainer like a LT40 or a Protege make nice float planes.. Almost anything that you have that you like to fly set up properly with the rite sized floats will fly well on floats ..Let us know what you decide and have fun...
