R/C-Plane, MT has all ready said that he is going to do it right, use a four channel 40 size glow trainer and join a club. Considering starting with a 1 1/2 lb. 3 channel electric plane is going backwards. The plane you suggest does fly well but if MT started with that, he would still need training to get used to a glow setup regarding engine starting, tuneup ect. and a nitro trainer would fly at rocket speeds compared to the electric trainer. If MT switched to a standard glow trainer after flying the electric without being on a buddy box, he would probably crash it in 10 seconds.[>:]
