CJ,

It you wait just a month or two, you can buy the new E-flite [link=http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFL4500]AT-6 Texan 25e ARF[/link]. I hope to review this plane when it is available as I expect it to be another great design from E-flite. I am happy to see E-flite making larger planes like this .25-size Texan and their fantastic J-3 Cub.

A big advantage of an E-flite model is that replacement parts are very inexpensive and everything can be obtained through Horizon Hobbies or your local hobby shop.

Good luck in your venture!
