The EasyStar is a worldwide phenomenon. Almost everyone who learns to fly with this model remains, later doing the hobby. There are dozens of videos on YouTube of pimped Easy Stars, there are fan sites from all over the world and a lot of building instructions for self-modification, of ailerons to bomb chute. There are good reasons for this:
The EasyStar is easy to build, due to its construction has very good-natured flight characteristics and is, if he nevertheless times after a hard landing which would collect, easy to repair. The company Multiplex has hit the jackpot here.
The following advice I would have for aspiring student pilot:
1. Be sure to connect from a model airplane-liability insurance. Even if you only occasionally go flying on the field: if due to radio interference abschmiert your flyer and damage caused (eg on a road ends up with a result of accident), pay the normal liability not for it. Such insurance costs per year under 40 euros, just look on the internet.
2. If you have never had anything to do with flying upload best on the website of multiplexing the free model flying simulator FMS down. This makes the first flight a little more relaxed.
3. For the first flight, then pick out a windless day and a place where there are a minimum of turbulence, the best an open field far away from streets.
4. In theory, you need permission from the land owner, ie the farmers. But where no plaintiff because no judge.
I myself have learned a year ago with my EasyStar as an autodidact the model flies. My fliers have arrived since donated a brushless motor and LiPo batteries and a 2.4 Ghz system. This is one of the troublesome sparking the past, and it rises almost vertically into the sky. But that's another story ...
From me a bold buy recommendation. Have Fun!
