While I'm on first flights...........

Santa brought my youngest son his first airplane, a Multiplex Easystar. We got our first flight this afternoon and what a joy to fly. My wife gave it a toss, it was trimmed and I had him on the sticks within a minute of launch! Yes, it flies that good! I spent like 3 or 4 months building my first plane 20 years ago. Built this one in a couple of nights of goofing around! Has a great glide ratio.

VERY COOL wren. I'm glad that your son is enjoying your hobby with you!

So, how long until he's solo? And when is his first heli coming? :lol:

He's already flown 1 stick of our Lama Co-axial. I'll fly the throttle and contols the right stick. His first heli...........He got a Pecoo Z for Christmas as well! :wink:

hey wren
What does the foamy cost. I dont count the electronics in this case, since they are transplant-able.

Thanx!

Available from Hobby-Lobby for $59.90. Includes motor and prop. You would need ESC, 2 servos (HS-81's work perfect) RX, battery.

Glues together with medium CA and kicker, (NOT foam safe CA!)

I would replace the stock prop with a 6 X 4E and an adapter.

Link for good, cheap battery packs: http://www.cheapbatterypacks.com/main.asp?pgid=superlisting&sid=675392&model=344&manufacturer=12&type=airplane

The Elite 1500 is the way to go for $18.00.
