Hello Everyone,
I am new to the site and I just wanted to get an opinion. I have flown few gliders, and slow park planes. I prefer electric planes at the moment, since I do not see many beginner to beginner/novice gas powered planes. I have a plane in mind, the Global Wattage Cessna 180 EP Park Flyer RTF 24.5". Here is some information I have received from,
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXGDW6&P=0 Also I do live next to a flying field for planes and helicopters, so when the weather starts to warm up I will get more information from there.
Please post any comments regarding my question. Like I said I do have “SOME” flying experience.
