Just my 2 cents:
I disagree with the ESC statement. The ESC that Great Planes provides with the Super Sportster EP is *JUNK*. TWICE i had my ESC overheat to the point where it makes sizzle noises and the entire plane shut off, so not even the servos work. I've tried everything from moving the ESC to the back of the plane to putting designer air vents in the body to force air onto the ESC. I even called up GP and had them send me a new one and the new one did the same thing.
My solution was to buy a Castle Creations Peagus-35 ESC. I haven't had a problem since... So if you love this plane as much as I do, don't trust the ESC they give you, it is trash.
BTW, if you want to see a picture of my designer air vent:

Good luck!
