Hi,

If you wish to go the EP route I would suggest a MUltiplex Easy Glider Pro if you want to learn ailerons or a Easy Star if you want to go three channel. Both are remarkably easy to fly and very easy to repair, (hot water gets the foam back in shape and the foam used will take CA, Epoxy or white glue). I've had students being able to do circuits in their first outing and solo in three or four sessions.

Cheers,

Colin
