Without a doubt the Multiplex Easy Star. I've flown it about 6-8 times so far and I'm a raw novice. Pay close attention to the center of gravity. I have crashed it numerous times and it just gets tossed up to fly again. Great and very durable trainer. I got the RTF version at:

Battery Pack: PC11X7F 7 Cell 1100 mAh Folded NiMH w/Connector ..... $ 29.90

I now have the stock pack and two of the NiMH packs. I fly at about 70% throttle as I find it easier to control and get 10 minutes of flying "up high" then I bring it down to tree top level for another 3-5 minutes; this on the NiMH packs. The stock pack gives about 7 min and then 3 more low flying.

There is a lot of info on this BB just on the EasyStar. The first page (of

Good Luck, Tony
