Get a hobbyzone Super Cub and throw in a 1500mAh 11.1v 20c Rhino lipo battery from hobbycity.com ($20) . It will take off from the bed of a truck and almost land in it. Mine will take off from the hood of my truck and climb almost straight up with everything stock except battery. 8mph wind is pushing the limits with a stock battery, but no problem with the lipo, floats would probably help it in the wind. It will fly inverted also, not easily, but it will do it. Want to fly inverted easily or do aerobatics, upgrade the radio and add ailerons! Very tough and versital plane!
