A little more direction would help. How giant do you mean? Scale, sport, 3D? What are you looking to do?

not that your being very specific, but yes the H9 Cub is a good start, It will my first 'Big' electric model (i'm getting it next week), and its relatively simple and cheap.

How about a 1/4 scale Cessna 152? Although not sold as an electric model,easy enough to convert.Flys like a big trainer!

I`m not selling the Cessna,just informing what a nice plane it is to convert to electric.I`m using the HXT 63-64 motor in this,runs great on 8s.What do you think of these motors?

Yes, I realized you were not selling the Cessna & although I'm not a BL motor expert, for $65 this motor does an OUTSTANDING job in this 21 lb aircraft on 8s . It's a bit humorous to me to inject this motor, cost, & usage into discussions herein & have some "experts" say "it can't be much good because it doesn't cost enough" ! What kind of mindset are we instilling into our youth ?
Sorry if I've gotten off topic

I really like my Senior Telemaster. Mine is electric. Using A123 cells. Flew it this morning for 25 minutes, recharged, then another 15 before I was tired. Flew it this evening for 35 minutes, recharged, then for another 10 minutes before I was tired.

It's just a bigger trainer, but a joy to fly.
