RE: Hobbico Electristar Select EP Trainer RTF

Thanks for the info, but I think its time to move on to a more advanced plane.  Three seasons ( almost ) is pretty good for a trainer, but I see a low winged tail dragger in my future.

RE: Hobbico Electristar Select EP Trainer RTF

Regret to inform the loss of my beloved electristar. Totally destroyed the fuse, including the recently purchased lipo.
Oh well, time to move on. Let the healing begin.

RE: Hobbico Electristar Select EP Trainer RTF

The electristar was a good trainer at the time but it has had its day. If I were starting out today, I'd opt for the E Flite T34 Mentor. For a lot less $ than I paid for my e'star, you get a DX6...

RE: Horrible Luck With Slo-V, will a Super Cub be any Better?

I agree that the Super Cub is a much bdetter plane to learn on than the Slo-V. It is heavier, faster, more manoeuverable, and can handle wind much better. It is also virtually indestructable. I have...

RE: e-flite s.e.5a

I have ordered one from my LHS but have not yet recieved it. By all accounts this will be a good indoor flyer. Hope I get mine soon.
