Hi,

I have been flying glow planes since the beginning of this yearand have been solo for about 3 months now. Although I enjoy glow planes alot I've started to take an intrest in electric. I just have a few questions about electric.

1) I was thinking of getting an RTF combo like the "firebird II" or the "Firebird Commander". are these good beginner electric planes?

2) does one need an instructor to fly electric planes. Or is it sort of a trial and error thing?

3) Can you fly electric planes in a park, or an open field, or are they restricted to certain feilds?

4) What tips do you have for a glow pilot who wants to switch to electric?


Thanks for your time!
