Barry,
LPP is a great choice. They are much easier to build and fly than ministick. Anyhow, just spy on Gowen and you'll get what you need to know. <grin>
F1L isn't bad, either. They are slightly less difficult to build than ministick, but much easier to fly. The only real challenge is to make sure the motorstick is strong enough to handle whatever power you use. EZB is a different animal. You may have seen mine at the Peach State. It's a pain to work with, and although satisfying in flight, the fragility can be just plain frustrating. Get F1L down and then buy some good wood for your EZB after you're good and ready.
Good flying,
Joshua
