Default RE: Most Durable Electric ARF or RTF

If your new to flying, go with a T-52. They can be had here for $35...

www.jkaerotech.com

You can power 'em either electric or glow. My T-52 has a mag mayhem buggy motor on an Olympus Belt Drive. I swing
a 12x8 folding prop and use 8 cell 1800 Kan nimh packs. Flies smoother than snot on a doorknob!!!
The T-52 has 10 degree dihedral if you build it per instructions. This means it basically can fly itself. Default config is elevator and
rudder for control. The website will say it will fly with a speed 400 but that would be way underpowered. At least do a 480 geared motor.
As far as glow, I think you could dump in a 074 Norvel or something.
