RE: First electric plane?
The receiver parts and servos are all built onto a pc board inside the fuselage. This makes it impossable to remove the parts to install on another plane. I started with the Fierbird 2 myself and when the plane was no longer useable so were the parts. Plus, like someone said they are fast.
The Pico Moth I suggested earlier flies slow like the Slow Stick but I like the way it looks better.
