Default RE: Next plane??

If you want to go with an RTF and not buy separate electronics, then I would go with the SuperCub. If you are going to buy separate electronics, then I would go with the ParkFlyers Cessna, you can buy all the parts for around $80 and pick up some of the stuff at your local hobby store. I bought the ParkFlyers Cessna, flew it once with the stock electronics and immediately replaced everything before flying again, it went up 10' and I lost all control. Now, it does barrel rolls, loops and is a blast to fly. The benefit of going this way is you have reliable electronics that you can use for planes down the road, if you go with a Futaba 6EX-PCM or equivalent, and you can put a slightly better 480 motor in it, and something other than the stock battery and these two things make all the difference in the world. You could even go brushless, which would make this plane into an airshow acrobat
