Beginner Parkflyers

GWS e-starter.

GWS E-Starter and GWS Slow Stick are good planes for a beginner aswell as expert. If you like electric ducted fan try a GWS A-!0... need to have some flight time under your belt for this one. Global Wattage makes a ducted fan F86 Saber. The above are ARF foamies. If you are looking for balsa ARF's then look at the E-Flight Accent ( powered glider ) and Gypsy. For Great Planes : EP Piper Cub or Yard Stick

Good luck Mike

Parkzone Aerobird Challenger or V-slow stick (or something). Then move up to the F-27 Stryker, which rocks!

Avoid the electric ducted fan planes. A ducted fan takes a pretty big efficiency hit over a standard prop -- you need more power to get the same performance -- so in order to get decent performance out of an electric, you need to spend a lot more money. The GWS ducted fan planes generally barely fly until you start using lipo batteries and brushless motors.

For a beginner, foamies are probably a good idea, as they tend to survive crashes better. And unless you're flying with somebody on a buddy box, they will crash a lot at first.

The GWS Tiger Moth is a good choice, it comes with motor, you supply a micro reciever and two micro servos, a 10 amp speed control and small NiMh or Lipoly battery packs. Go to Aeromicro.com or Balsa Products for everything you need. Mountain Models has a number of good flying balsa kit that use inexpensive GWS geardrives, etc. example Cessna 180 Get on RC Grouls E-Zone, Parkflyers and Beginners sections, to get advice and help.

I just built an electric Decathalon from Clays hobbies.

I think you mean the Parkzone Slo-V.

This is the model I fly. It's the only RC plane I have, so I can't offer any comparisons. I have flown it five times on the first prop (no hard crashes), so it must be somewhat simple.

I picked it 'cuz I went into the hobby store near my house one Friday after work and told them I wanted to fly a plane the next morning. And I did.

I have a Graupner Mini Piper which I love. I fly on 8 cells and a brushless Astroflight 010, but great performance can be had with the stock motor and 8 cells also. Very nice flyer, both sporty and slow depending on what you want to do. It's an ARF and sells for around $40. Check Hobby Lobby.
