Hello

I'm new to the hobby as well. I have been real big into nitro trucks and cars. Even electric cars and trucks as well.

I decided with the help from the guys at my local hobby shop to start with GWS's Slow Stick. I built the plane in a few nights, and have been flying it for the past week with no outside help. The thing is super easy to fly, inexpensive, easy to build, durable, and easy to modify. However it is Red.

Being my first plane, and having zero problems with it, I would give it a 9 from a scale of 1-10. The only reason why I don't give it a 10, is for the fact its hard to fly in slightly windy conditions, but that's because it's so light and has a huge wing area for the weight. I also bump it from a 10 to a 9 because I feel the instructions, although having very nice photographs, are lacking some detail for the beginner airplane modeler such as myself.

Just do a search here in the forums on "Slow Stick" and you will come up with tons of information.

If you decide to get one, and need help with it, just let me know.
