I do have some experince flying a slow stick, and pretty much everything on the flight sim.

Because it looks like a great trainer and a cheap deal! Let me know what you guys think.

it dosnt seem to bad. one thing it said"Suitable for outdoors." means dont fly inless the wind is dead. you looking at 120 dollars w/shipping for that price you can buy a used trainer rtf on this fourm are at your local culb.

Hmmmm. Up at the top it says a 180 amp ESC, then at the bottom it says 25 amp ESC. According to them, they are the only ones you can get parts from. I'm guessing wing and fuselage (The motor, ESC, battery and servos you can get just about anywhere). It looks like Depron foam. The hinges probably won't last too long, but you can use hinge tape to sturdy them up.
Probably not too bad a buy, just don't expect it to hand it down to grandkids.
If you have already had a slo-stik, and have experience on a sim, you would probably be bored with this thing in a couple days.

With an EP400 that plane is going to be a slow walk in the park. Do yourself a favor and find a cheap glo trainer and fly it. Outside of HobbyZone and ParkZone I don't know of anyone selling decent electric planes you'd actually want to fly.

Here's the planes

There are a lot of other options and combinations depending upon your financial situation but if you want to learn to fly get a glo. Just my opinion, I could be wrong. If you really want a deal, buy the Nexstar RTF package with the sim.
