Gas or Electric?I did gas for a while, but they are to messy. I have an electric glider I flew a lot, and an electric stunt plane that is way to small, fast and jittery for my taste. Like an X-Mod in the air. no room for errors since you can't see it at any real altitude.
The plane's gas (a .40 2-stroke) with a 2 meter wingspan. It's a trainer w/ a high wing, so it's supposedly easy to fly, but the field I joined closed the weekend before I got the plane for my 14th b-day.

The glider's a 2 meter polyhedrial. I've got an electric lift motor for it, but I only used it with the motor once before crashing it into that tree. Usually I'd fly off hills and climb thermals or ground-effect updrafts.
