I'm thinking about the real simple ones with just throttle and rudder. I
want something I can fly with the kids in the schoolyard across the

street.

Maybe the electric ones will do this satisfactorily, but I doubt it. Before
taking up flying "for real" I flew a "rudder-only" gas-powered model, and
discovered that -- just like a "real" airplane -- having rudder as your only
control for turning is extremely inadequate.

I will also "second" the notion that flying one is more difficult than the
real thing. Having the controls reversed on you every two minutes (as the
plane would fly toward you) was extremely difficult to master.

Many crashes -- and several stitches -- later, I decided to do something
safer, like flying INSIDE the planes. ;-)
