Glow pilot needs newbie e-flight advice

[RogerRoger]

Hey gang,

I’m a long time glow flyer and an average 3D pilot with my UCANDO 46 and various SPAD plans. My son is pushing for an electric to practice 3D. I’ve tried to educate myself but I’m suffering information overload and have decided to take the coward’s way out and by some matched GP gear.

Here’s what I’m considering:

Great Planes Flatana FlatOuts 3D EP Park Flyer ARF 36"
Great Planes Rimfire 22M-1000 Brushless Motor
Great Planes ElectriFly BL-8 Brushless ESC
Great Planes PolyCharge4

I’d like your opinions about the choices above and recommendations for batteries, servos and RX (I use JR TX). (I’ll probably go to fanfold foam once we destroy the Flatana.)

I really appreciate the help.

Roger

Hitec Electron 6 receiver,
Hitec HS-55 servos,
3s lipo battery and charger

I'd look at Thunder Power 1320's. The charger of choice for me is the Asrtoflight 109 Lipo charger.

Having made the above recommendations, there are a lot of good choices out there and some bad stuff out there too. I used all of the above items and can recommend them highly.
