Beginner's perspective to another beginner...
I got a .60 size xtra easy 2 about a month ago. For learning... I recommend it. It's not been anything but fun yet. The reason I think I like it is the large wing area. It makes it very docile. I can see how I may be able to outgrow it. But it comes with a little better radio than the alpha and it just seems like it floats.
I think a big part of my fun will be pushing my trainer over the edge till I bury it anyway
I love that hangar 9 corsair kit too, but I'm a good bit from being able to fly one. I saw one today that a club member built. It looked sweet. He had a 1.2 4-stroke of some sort on it. I had been oggling that kit in the local hobby store for awhile. I dunno though, I keep hearing that warbirds are hard to fly, that one in particular.
