Default RE: how's this for an intermediate pilot?

Hi CoytAW,

There are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of planes that you could choose from. Its a little hard to judge what to recommend without knowing what you are currently flying and what experience you have. The term "Intermediate" has different meanings for different people. The plane that you show on the photo is probably meant for expert level flying and, although you could probably fly it on low rates, there are certainly planes available that would be better suited for you.

Here are a couple of suggestions for you to consider:
1) Multiplex MiniMagistar (Minimag): this is a great foam (durable and easy to repair) intro plane for aileron control
2) ParkZone Typhoon 2: on low rates its a great flying aileron plane with lots of power to get you out of trouble and fairly slow to give you time to react. On high rates its a terrific intro to acrobatic and 3D maneuvers. (Also foam)
3) E-flite MiniUltraStick (MUS): a great performer that is a popular "first" wood plane.
4) E-flite MiniPulse: a smooth flying wood plane that is also capable of aerobatics
5) E-flite MiniFuntanaX: fully acrobatic and 3D capable wood plane that has a full body for excellent appearance
