Default RE: need help picking out the best first plane

Sounds like you've made up your mind you're going electric. I've seen that parkzone cub and it's pretty. Flies very nicely too, but it's no beginners airplane. Wouldn't stay pretty long if you tried to learn on it. If you're gonna stay electric, I would suggest something like a slo stick from GWS. Pretty much indestructible, and the electronics you buy for it will transfer over to your next airplane, unlike the P-Z cub. It's gonna be a bit more expensive, because you're gonna have to spring for the airplane, radio, a GWS flight pack, everything you need besides the ariplane and a transmitter and if you want, you can even get a GWS transmitter. All told will probablly run you in the 250-300 dollar range, more than the cub but a much better way to start, especially if the hobby gets a hook in you (and it sounds like it has already).

Welcome to the fun.....
