Ive got a 4*60 with a TS91 on it that i put together myself but hve flown it only twice and havent flown it in 4 months. I have both AFP and G2 and thats how i practice but i would like to get an electric one that i can fly in my neighborhood and put my penny size cam on it and have some fun in my neighborhood since i also have a big backyard i can take off and land from... Thank you...

I think there was a question in there somewhere? I believe you want to know what kind of park flyer to get.

Are you looking for a RTF, or a kit? For RTF, look at Hobbyzone Aerobird or Parkzone J3 Cub. For kit, I guess something by GWS?

Ive seen that aerobird, it doesnt go up or down and its so clumsy. Anything more like a glow airplane with at least 4 channels...?

The Hobbico Superstar EP is a "nitro-sized" electric ARF with ailerons (4-ch)... comes with the motor, ESC, & batt pack too, just need to add an RX and servos...

But you'll need a really big backyard.

Try going to EZone. They're strictly electric planes and you should find a lot of decent alternatives.

Good luck,

I just ordered a yak from extremeflightrc.com. It is 4 ch and will fly in a back yard well if it is big enough. Pretty impressive plane. Also look at ohio model products at some of their foam electric planes. They are pretty impressive and will do aerobatics like you wouldn't believe. They are a lot of fun and can be flown in some pretty tight spaces, including in a gym. Might give them a look

I agree the aerobird doesn't fly well and needs a pretty large space since it's response is very mushy.

A GWS slowstick is ugly but cheap, flys well, and can carry a camera. Those "Soarstar" jobs also can carry cameras and are good flyers.
