Hello,

My girlfriend would like to join me in my addiction of rc airplanes (surprisingly) and I am torn between getting her a glow plane or an electric. I fly both and have very many planes; however at this moment I only have low wing warbird nitros and low wing electrics along with some ducted fans none of my planes will suite her for a first plane. She is extremely proficient on my realflight 3.5. I am torn between the two because electrics are somewhat cheaper, as I have many lipos, and are much easier to repair and transport, but they IMO are harder for a beginner to fly. Nitro is easier to fly but a little more expensive and harder to transport. Also Ive never buddy boxed with anyone and I have a dx7 and a JR 7 the receivers for my dx7 are expensive is it possible to use the dx7 as the buddy box or should I just use the 2.4 as the instructor radio? So if anyone could give me some suggestions as to what would be the most cost effective and safest bet to get my girlfriend in the air Id appreciate it. I am not super familiar with the current trainers of the day but I do know the HZ supercub is a great plane but Id rather get her on an aileron trainer as she seems accustomed on the sim to ailerons.

THANKS!
