I got "signed off" on my glow-powered trainer about 3 years ago, but haven't been able to get out to the flying field but a hand-full of times each season because of parental obligations. Because of this, going flying is not "like riding a bike." I've not been able to maintain a complete comfort level. I'm just not able to get out to the flying field 1 to 2 days a week for half-day flying sessions, but do not want to leave the hobby. I've since sold my airplanes, but kept my Futaba 9c radio and thought that park flying would be a great alternative.

My question. I've been reading 1st plane threads until my my brain hurts, but nothing seems to fit my situation. If completely beginning, I would buy a slow stick, but I do have some skills. Many entry level "packages" include a radio or are only three channel. Has anyone converted from glow to electric with basic skills mastered and what would you suggest as a good, "beginning," cross-over, 4 channel electric plane? I've been looking at a number of planes, but would like to know what those of you with experience think.

Thank you in advance. harphunt
