Slow plane ?
 

What would be a good plane to fly on my own. when I cant fly my Nexstar, I want something that is eazy to fly and with more limited room than at the RC site, and low cost, electric is OK. something slow.

Have you solo'ed yet?

If not, then do yourself a favor and wait till you are fully qualified. That way you will have two benefits. The first is the satisfaction that you did it, you solo'ed. The second is that you are able to do what you want when you want (within your capabilities that is).

Good luck!!

keep flying the simulator,if you havent got one get one.Practice Practice Practice, it will help your reflex's:)

Once you are a fully competent and safe flyer, go to http://www.chargerrc.com and get a CR-1.

This plane is by far the easiest building foamy ever made. It flies like a dream and will eventually teach you to hover, do low knife edge passes, waterfalls, rolling circles, rolling harriers and every IMAC sequence imaginable with minimal investment.

Crash it, glue it back and fly again in 2 minutes flat. Keep an extra one for when the thing is just too beat-up to fly and move your gear to the new one.

Although foam-skill does not translate directly to larger planes, the reflexes and confidence you gain will.

This plane has given me the reflexes needed to advance quickly toward 3D and IMAC. I fly mine every day....and almost anywhere. I am on my 6th one. I soloed in Nov 2005, so thats like one every 2 months or so at about 4 batteries per day...so 250 or so flights per plane, and they only cost $40 each to replace the entire airframe.

I really like these foamies.

I've heard the GWS Tiger Moth can be walked beside while flown....Rog

Slow and nice to fly even when you are a mere beginner:

Multiplex Easy Star (fun to fly and you can glide her too)
GWS Slow Stick (nice and slow to fly)
GWS Pico Stick (even slower in a much smaller space but does not enjoy wind)
Clancy Lazy Bee ARF (this is really nice to fly with a powerful motor, mine was a ball!)
