Default Park flying

Ok, start over here made a mistake. I have soloed and my flying field is some distance and I am looking for a plane that would operate in a park albiet not a large place and trees would be a factor. I have used the Ember ll and the Ayers 100 , think it is, and they work well but really easy to hurt. I have used mine up so to speak. I was thinking about a Radan but it is a little large and all it would like to do is fly,,,,,,,too good. Do not want a lot of speed just be able to manuver real well. So don't know what I want lol lol . Electric of course. Thanks fellas . gphil

Tight fields are generally going to require a lightly loaded (easily hurt) plane. The heavier (sturdier( you go the more room you need.

If you like to build.. Pat Trittle has beautiful scale park flyers ....

The mini ultra stick would be hard to beat. They handle wind well and can fly pretty slow.

get yourself a foamie for park flying. A light 3D profile bird is perfect. Easily maneuvered. Light. Can fly slowly.

OK, what are your suggestions. Something for a novice. Just over the beginner threshold.

I should also add one of my FAVEORITE planes I own is the eFlight CAP232 profile.

This plane can fly slow or haul a little tail.  I put LED's on mine and made it my night flyer too.

You can get it all together for probably 200 bucks!  Flies great!  Landing gear could be better though.  Havent broken it...but even on super soft landings it can spread and you have to bend it back.  Im waiting for the day for it to break and replace it with something stronger I hope, like carbon fiber or something that wont bend when you just look at it.  Otherwise great GREAT airplane!  I fly mine in my back yard.
