RE: Beginner to intermediate Planes
I have been having a blast this summer with my Great Planes Dazzler. I built it from a kit in about a week and a half, but you can also buy it as an ARF. You can buy it's cousin, the Tower Uproar 40 as an ARF for $89. I am flying mine with an OS.46LA and it is a lot of fun. It rolls much better than my Four Star, and it has good vertical with a realtively weak engine.
It's not fast, but it's a lot of fun.
