Default A Great beginner plane? Electric

I am looking for a great beginner plane. I am looking for just a simple ARF or RTF. A great trainer and is electric with an affordable price. What is a good plane?

If you can get the Black Horse Liberty its an amazing EP plane, big, light and stable! Its nicely manufactured. Only needs a 3S set up to fly her. Comes in for landings so so well ... best of all, Black Horse planes are so much cheaper. For motor (TR 35-48-C 800kv) and ESC (a 60A one is nice) just go to shop for Turnigy stuff at Hobby City ... Rhino packs are cheap there too, a 3S 3,700 would be great stuff if you want to fly a plane of that size, if not buy 3S 2,200 mAh packs and use 2 in parallel. Each piece can fly smaller 45"-47" EP planes.

Hi

I haven't had any experience flying airplanes so I am a real beginning. Is there one better then the other for a first time flyer? I'm nervous about how to start this hobby. Are there used planes for sale somewhere? Dumb question?

Used planes for sale right here on RCuniverse. Just click on "Buy and Sell". Also on e-bay, if you're looking for Super Cub search "hobbyzone". Pay close attention to description and shipping terms.

Not going to get much more affordable or easy to fly than the Super Cub.
