i'm a beginner and i'm looking at the e gull or the t hawk, and on is a 2ch and the other is the 3, which one should i get, i mean is the 3ch one gonna be any harder to fly than the 2??
the 3 ch is alot bigger plane and has widder wing span. does a widder wing span make it harder to fly or to get up in the air?

No, not neccesaraly.
The two channel and three channel planes will probably be the same, except the that the 3ch will probably have a throttle added to the other 2 channels , namely rudder and elevator. The two channel craft will just have rudder and elevator, and possibley a motor that stops when the batt. voltage gets to a certain level. With the three channel craft, you will probably be able to control the motor, this will save you some batt., if you don't fly at full throttle all the time.
Now you did not specify whether it is just a plane or glider or powered glider.
If it is a glider with rudder, elevator AND ailerons , it will be easier to get into trouble with . Just having rudder + elevator is perfect to learn on , the engine is just a way of getting up there.
Don't quote me on any of this, I am not sure what the 'e gull' and the 'thawk' are, but I hope this helps.
Good flying

okay sorry bout that, but its pretty much a glider it has a 40 inch wing span, and the other one has a 30 inch wing span, the 2 chn says u control the motor speed and left and right, the 3 chn says u control the motor on and off with a switch on top of remote and left and right and up and down?
the 3 channel has a video showing it doing loops, but is that all u can do or can u spin with just left and right and up and down controls? prob. a stupid question, i went on and order the 3 chn cause i fig. that it will be more fun to fly to do loops and stuff, hope i'm right :stupid:
