I'm guessing that rcnitrodriver probably wants a nitro plane, since he's familiar with and likes glow engines. Glow powered aircraft are easier to learn to fly than most electric aircraft because they are generally larger, more stable, and more powerful so they aren't bothered by a modest amount of wind. A lot of beginners are drawn to electric aircraft because they assume that glow engines are more difficult to work with than electric power systems, and it's simply not true.

The Hobbico Superstar Select MkII that you're looking at would be a good, stable, slow-flying airframe. There are a lot of really good choices, however, and you should look through Ken's "sticky" trainer thread at the top of this forum to get an idea of just how many good choices are available to you.

Feel free to post any additional questions that you might think of as you continue to look around. Good luck and good shopping.
