A possible alternate solution in using the E-Starter as a first plane is to build it with just rudder and elevator at first. Don't cut out the ailerons on the wing or install the third servo until you are ready to introduce them into your training.

One of the guys who flies with us has done this and the E-Starter handles much like the GWS Beaver, a nice handling 3 channel aircraft.

Once you are comfortable with flying, you can cut out the ailerons, hook up the linkage, add the third servo, and learn to fly with the 4th channel.
