I've posted similar responses in othe threads but I will do it again here, I started and Rcplane ministry at my church about 8 months ago and have taught about 20 kids ages 9yr and up and also taught 8 adults.
Here is list of planes begginer planes or park flyers I have flown, or am still flying:
Hobbyzone Super Cub, Firebird Commander, Scout, Phantom, Freedom, Aerobird Swift, Aerobird Extreme, Parkzone Slo-v, J-3 cub brushed and brushless, Decathalon, Vapor, Ember, T-28 Trojan, F4u Corsair, Stryker "C", Typhoon, Hobbico Avistar, Nexstar, Hangar 9 Alpha 40. I said all that to say this; in the absence of a trainer and buddy box system, Super Cub is the best to teach new students with!!
