Is an EPP electric powered Wing (such as the e-Raider from Wing Warrior) a reasonable beginners aircraft?
At least they are tough.
Is there a Rx and/or ESC that would be suitable for both this craft and the Stadium Truck also on my shopping list?
Can Aircraft motors run on the same battery packs as the truck (6 cell 2400 to 3300 mAh, NiCd or NiMH)?
Thanks for any help

I can answer one question............The radio for the plane is on 72 mhz.......the truck must be run either on 27 mhz......49 mhz......or the most common......75 mhz.....
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you use an air radio in a ground application or vice versa!!!!!! If you use a radio on 72 mhz in your truck.....you could shoot someone''s plane down....and who knows.....maybe kill someone...... Using an 75 mhz radio in a plane could mess someone with a truck or car up too....could conceivably kill someone that way too.......
Besides.......it is illegal to use ground frequencies for air or air frequencies for ground......
Just my $.02375 worth.......

to reinforce what captkaos said, dont share frequencies with ground and air.
now on to your other question there are a few EEP wing that are good for beginners something like a zagi 400 would be good to start or the e-raider (I havent flown the e-raider but i do have a zagi)
the benifit about these is that they are tough, I put mine in straight down and it just bounced, all i damaged was the prop, one aileron, and the canopy. 5 minutes later it was back in the air (I checked my watch then for a "bet", it was only 5 minutes)
although they are not *the easiest* to fly they are easy and are probably the most forgiving about instantanious deceleration tests
as for ESCs you could probably use a car ESC in a plane but the wieght would be too much. and the type of loads a truck gives the ESC I dont think an airplane one would handle the strain.
