Kokamo

Check out page 76 of the new Model Airplane (assuming you get it). Thats the Yak, and the motor at the bottom is the motor i use. They have a video on the site that shows it flying, i can testify that with that set up, thats how it flies.

Last week I went to the field with it and showed a couple of guys, we are all trying to learn 3D, and there i am hovering with a little foamy. Not well, but still hovering.

Also, not to get U Can Do'd out, but the U Can Do EP looks indestructable, its like a big foam sock with wings. The owner of a LHS has one and he loves it.

The biggest tip i can give is go Brushless and go LiPo. I tried to get a feel for it with a standard can motor and a NiMH and almost gave it up till a friend talked me into the yak. I am walking up the block in a half hour to go fly, charge when i get home and go back up later. Its great. Once you get the bug and the electronics, there are lots of free plans for Depron and fanfold planes out there.
