A friend of mine had a 1/3 scale cub with a G-62. That was pretty easy to fly.

all kidding aside, are you looking for an aerobatic plane like a 260 or a Yak or similar? What size? 50cc? 100cc? 150cc?

Composite ARF Extra. Excellent flying characteristics, easy build, no wrinkles, wide speed envelope. It will fly aerobatics with ease, but slow down and fly like a powered glider.

The 'quick and dirty' way into giants... They fly well to! You won't cry if you break the airframe. Spend the extra cash on some 'good' servos, and you'll be ready for that comp arf down the road.

My two cents!

I would have to agree with this. I have seen one fly with a DA 50. As easy as a trainer but wil do any High Alpha trick in the book.

If you are looking for a plane to 3d with go with the ohio models plane or a aeroworks and for a good motor go with a DA 3W or a fox 3.2 the fox runs good and the service is A++++++++++ if you ever have to have it
