Default 2 cents on the E-Starter

Hey,

When i was trying to get into this hobby i had a lot of trouble trying to find the best plane to start out on. I had a little time flying a friends GWS Cub (awsome plane for the 100% newbie) and i wanted to get a plane of my own that had a few upgrades from the elevator/rudder Cub (ailerons, faster etc).

When I was searching, I went through a lot of trouble trying to decide what plane I should get. I havent flown any of the other planes that people have suggested (sky scooter, aerobird, slow stick, and a few more) but the E-Starter is awesome. If you have just a little experience and you want to try ailerons this is definately the plane to get. I was able to land well on my first pass, and even looped it during the first battery pack. Then plane was responsive and had enough power that if i started bombing, i could floor it and pull up before i drove it into the ground (or the various soccer goals around the field i fly at). It was easy to see and I could tell its position and attitude even at a good distance. It was great...

So basically what I am trying to say here is, if you dont know what plane to get for a beginner/intermediate level, this plane is the one.

Just my two cents,
Thatcher
