You'll have to be a liiiittle more specific. Some of those inexpensive, all-in-one planes on Ebay are okay, but many are absolute JUNK. The Jeep may be a blast, but buy the wrong plane, and you'll want to do some blasting of your own :(

Check out the "Good First Planes" thread at the top of this forum for some ideas.

Hi, you sound like me, and probably everyone else getting into this. I have narrowed it down to 2 planes, the T-hawk, and the Tiger Moth. You found the right place to get alot of info, almost overwhelming at times.

The number one thing you willl hear is get a good radio. One that can go on to your next plane. because if you get hooked, and you will, you wont want to throw that $100 bucks away because you can not upgrade.

Good Luck!
