i would buy a .40 sized plane before you would even think about going bigger and here are the reasons.

landing a electric and landing a .40 are much much different, electrics for the most part need little if any approch, just cut the throttle and your down in 20 or 30 yards.
some 40 sized planes need at least a football field worth of approch, and will take that long to loose 50 feet worth of altitude. they also have a 20-50+ yard roll out, something electrics have little of.

now take that into a 37% plane, your talking a quarter mile worth of an approch, 100 yards+ worth of rollout, ect ect ect
its a big big jump

also in the air big planes cannot manuver like little electrics they require tons of space. something that is very weird if you have only flown electrics that can turn on a dime.


i started off with small electrics and went to .40 sized planes. it was a jump but it was doable. my friend let me fly his 100cc yak and thats a whole nother ball game i wouldnt try the electric to 100cc any day
