Most definately a ultra stick... Man, what an easy plane to fly! I'm at 6600 MSL and a .46 pulls it good. Have a .61 on a 40 sized high wing and it's a screamer. The reason I suggest the ultra stick ARF is twofold: Flaps for less ear loading and short field take-offs. You can also land super slow with the down about 8 degress, much more than that and it's hard to get the thing out of the air. 2: this plane pulls skis real well, flew today in soft snow conditions. gets right off the ground and landings are sof and forgiving. same thing on wheels! Now the best for last: You can have a ball with this thing for a long time to come- not your average trainer... full acrobatic and not bad 3D flying. Just advance your setup as you see fit. These little planes will fly as gentle or as radical as you want them to depending on the control rates/throws.

I started with a high wing trainer with the 61 on it, too fast, too heavy, falls out of the sky QUICK... the stick simply flys... (and lands!) hope this helps-- Jim in Wyoming
