My vote goes out to the Extra Easy 2, by Hanger 9. I found it a great easy plane to learn with. Very little assembly to be done, and can be ready for flight in about 30 minutes. Comes with Evolution Trainer system installed ( .40 size) and already broken in as well as tuned. Also comes with 5 channel JR computer radio already installed. Once you mater the basics with it, you can adjust the throws both mechanically and electronically making it like a totally new airplane to play with. For $379.00 I don't think you will get a better buy, or get in the air any faster.
