I noticed that you mentioned the Aero crusier in your starting post r/c boy. I purchased a rtf (ready to fly) one of these about a year ago so i could have a quick small plane to fly when i couldn't make it out to the flying feild. When i opened the box the plane was packaged nicely and put together fairly well. The first time i went to fly it I went for a basic hand launch. Once in the air i knew I had trouble. imeadiatly it began to stall. So i compensated with down elevator to regain speed but relized the model was too heavy to flyand it eventually crashed. After repairs and talking with some flying friends i took out plenty of the unessacery plastic and replaced it with light weight plastic along with exchanging the standard servos with micro servos. These mods seemed to have done the trick because the Aero Crusier now flys very slow and prdicictable. I think this would be a good choice if you run out of choices because there are plenty of other good planes out there. But I think that this plane could fly in your feild with ease and could be a good electric trainer if you work to get it light.
