Default Help! my first electic plane. help!

For my first elec plane Im not sure if I should get the HobbyZone Super Cub or the Park Zone j3 cub brushless.

I like the lipo. What do you think?

i think the hobbyzone j3 might be easier to fly because of its 1 foot larger wing span.i wouldnt worry to much about anything other than how easy is it to fly if this is your first plane.it might not live long enough to burn out the brushed motor,i know my first plane didnt last long at all,lol.but if youve flown before or are pretty good on the sim,then get the park zone w/ the longer lasting brushless and lipo.

The SuperCub is meant for beginners, while the J3 is meant for intermediate flyers. The SuperCub will be a much better plane for you.

I also like the ParkZone T-28 Trojan. It looks easy to fly.
I dont want a plane that is a throw away once I learn to fly it. I love the warbird look. the Trojan looks like an easy flyer. Is it?

The HZ Super Cub has the reputation as being one of the best beginner packages for people who are going to try and learn on their own. The other is the Multiplex Easy Star.

There are lots of posts and discussions about both of these planes. They would get my highest recommendtion.

They are right I have never flown and got the park zone j3 BL and have crashed it alot but the owner of my LHS where I got it is helping me along teaching me on clam days.
