Beginner advice<BR>> <BR>> I will second that!<BR>> A fellow club
member gave me a Multiplex Easy Glider. I am having a lot of <BR>> fun with
it. I expect the smaller Easy Star would be a lot more suitable. <BR>> FMA
has a sale on now for their tiny 5 channel receivers.<BR>> <BR>> FWIW:
As long as others are not annoyed by the practice I am in favor of <BR>>
"off topic" discussions. Especially when they are appropriately titled. The
<BR>> advice provided by this group is sincere and well meaning. That is
not <BR>> always the case with other internet sources.<BR>> <BR>>
