Hi I have a Question for those of you out their who fly electric park flyers.
I have a GWS E-Starter and want to upgrade a little bit. I have seen people "trick-out!" there E-Starters and have been thinking about doing the same thing. But i still have been thinking about buying a new plane. The E-Starter was my first "trainer" plane. If you know how to trick-out your E-Starter please give me the details and some pics. If you know a good second plane give me the details.
Thanks for all the help.

In order....3 cell lipo to boost stock 400's power. Brushless motor for better power/flight time. Cut wing in half, remove dihedral, glue back together....wicked roll rate/aerobatic capabilities.
A good second plane for you would be the gws formosa.

I've enjoyed my E-Starter with brushless power and lipo's. I chose a Himax 2015-4100 and a lipo 11.1v 3cell 1500mah battery. I still fly the E-Starter with this set up from time to time.
I purchased a Mountain Models Smoothe using the SP wing for the plane after the E-starter and have no regrets. The Smoothe is a kit, balsa fuselage that you have to build (very simple) and a foam wing. This plane really moves on the power set up mentioned above.

Good Luck with whatever you choose

Hey guys thanks for replying. 
I have decided to just upgrade my E-Starter. Thanks for helping me. You guys did a good job but i wanted a little more details. I would like to know what li-po batteries and charger you used and i also want something that i will be happy with for a while. I also want the exact moter/prop/esc and how you mounted the motor. Also i want an approx price range (needs to be fairly cheep). so in other words i want to know it all!!!
Thanks for the help!
