I'm sure the E-Flight is a fine plane, though I have never even seen one yet alone fly it. But I have flown a P-51 PTS for about 3 years now and have trained people how to fly on them and they are great flyers. It can be as gentle as you want it to be and grow with you as far as any P-51 can....meaning it is a great sport plane that does nice aerobatics but certainly not 3-D stuff. To see how nice of a model it is, look at the forum on it, it's about 3 years old and has 179 plus pages....most people that fly the P-51 PTS love it. That said, it does look like the E-Flight comes with a little nicer radio. So your real question might be electric or glow? Happing flying...Greg
