I think what BK has stated is very true. I am in love with the sound of glow engines and its scent but now I am very much into EP. If you want maximum flying time to learn how to fly, go with glow. If you want to just relax and enjoy it go with something simple like the Multiplex Easy Star. The ES is a superb starter plane as it is easy to build and flies very well. Another nice plane to enjoy is the GWS E Starter. A little more in terms of build (relatively) but good to learn on and just relax with.
