I've come down to a few choices for a starter plane. First off, I'm happy to start with a 4 channel radio and i'm happy with a .40 engine. I'm just going to get a RTF package that comes with everything. That being said, i've narrowed these down to my main choices:
Hobbico Superstar Select Package
Hangar 9 Xtra Easy 2 package
Hangar 9 Alpha Trainer package
To me, all of these trainers have certain advantages, the Hobbico with the Futaba radio which I know a lot of people use around here and it comes with a 2-blade prop. The Xtra Easy 2 because it comes with a 5-channel radio, but its a JR.
I just want peoples opinions on these planes, experiences, pros and cons with them. I saw the Alpha in action and was a little disappointed with it. It seemed slow and sluggish (maybe because of the 3-blade props?), but this is just my newbie opinion. Thanks everyone with the help you have given me so far, i'm a few steps closer to getting a trainer. thanks!!
