Well this morning I realized that I posted in the wrong fourm, but if you are still willing to help then I really appreciate it. I am looking for and electric slow flyer. I have about 3 acres of semi treed land that I can fly on. I also need to be able to land easily within fifty feet.

Sorry and Thanks,
Kevin

GWS Beaver. Learned how to fly on one with no help. Easy to repair if needed too. http://www.gws.com.tw/english/product/airfly/dhc2.htm

GWS Beaver or E Starter or Slow Stick, Multiplex Easy Star. The GWS planes are good stuff.

I think you ned to look at the GWS line of planes also. My first one was the Slow Stick but I thought the Tiger Moth was easier to fly.

Another option would be the J-3 Cub from Parkzone. It comes RTF and is a nice little flyer. that is what i learned on.

Of course the above would be good choices as well

multiplex ez-star. with the prop a pusher and the reltively soft fuse, it is safer than others.
