I am looking for a good flying electric ARF that is not a park flyer. I have been looking at the SIG EP42 (I have an LT-40 and really like the way it flies - don't want to stray too far from that stability). Admittedly, I don't know much about electrics regarding whether to go brushed or brushless. This [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJKE1&P=0]particular plane[/link] comes with a motor, I would assume this is brushed.

I want to be able to fly it away from the field, be able to hand the controller off to a novice to play with (with me there to assist) and see them be able to control it, that is why I don't want to stray too far from a trainer set up. I did see [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLBW7&P=0]this plane[/link] as well which looks really good, but i haven't heard anything about it, and of course it wouldn't be as stable as the other.

Any thoughts or recommendations on what I am looking for would be great.

Look at the Carl Goldberg Eagle 400, CG Husky 400, and CG Tiger 400. The first two planes are trainers and the second is a low wing trainer.

I went ahead and purchased the Sig EP42 with the stock setup. I'll fly it for a while and probably ultimately convert it to brushless. I think it'll serve my needs to have a plane that I can fly quickly and easily without all the hassle of glow.
