I've been thinking about getting a Multiplex Easystar 2 as a cheap entry into the world of RC. Eventually I would like to fit it with FPV gear and fly like that. It's this a good plan? Show me your RC planes here.

I got one of these as my first, but that was after like 200 hours of simulation to get used to the left/right swap thing.

Holy fuck this bitch is hard to land on rough terrain.

So yea, something with long strait wings, a prop, and a low stall speed is WAY easier to fly.

Also, holy fuck an EDF is hard to fly without a rudder. Don't believe them when they say it's RTF. Just get some extra servos to have lying around.

Might work for some odd hydroplane design, where you just can't use a propeller. Though, I think even then duct fans are probably more efficient. Nice idea, just not very practical.
