CraigE - What Ozrcboy says i spot on, he's well known down under, see his website, lots of newbie-type tips etc. Super Cub is excellent but they do a brushless one now and that is the one I'd be tempted to go for. Minimag is great as OZ says and Elapor foam just has to be the best yet for re-builds (and there will be some). Ozrcboy and the Aussie BBQ guys recommended me to get the EZ* and its the best plane of 9 that I have, a great flyer stock or brushless. Mine has just gone b/less (2nd time) and I'm using 2S which saves money on Lipos, and the performance is amazing. Oh, and when you're pals can't fly 'cos of high wind you can be out there with a big grin on your face. Spares for the Cub are cheap and plentiful though. Good luck......
