Ok I just went to Hobby Lobby to have a look at your EasyStar. The radio in question is a 3 ch single stick like the ones I have. I think this radio will be just fine for this little plane. If you are looking at the RTF version. However if you are looking at the ARF & buying the rest of the radio equipment yourself then you might want to think about spending more money to buy a radio that will carry you in to other planes as you learn to fly. I do have radios like this one though, both with the finger-slide throttle in the back of the radio, & one with a thumb-slide throttle on the front of the radio. Both are just as easy to use as the other & will be just fine for this little beginner type plane, but as I said, if you can afford it, you might want to think about a radio that will carry you further along in the Hobby. I would suggest at least a 4 ch, 6 ch if you can afford it & I would definitely then want a dual stick radio. Of course these are just my opinions & they are very true!
