Peter,
I agree with a fellow hobbyist here. The e-starter is my second airplane (I'm still a newby). I fly it stock, and it's a blast for fun acro, landings, or just cruising. Durable easy to repair and pretty stable. (Actually my e-starter now is my 3rd airplane. A tree jumped out and grabbed the first one, and wouldn't give it all back.) Pilot error.
Enjoy
