Status: offline 		Hello I would like to get more into planes and want to know about good electric planes to learn on. I would like to keep the price under 100 bucks and will be teaching myself to fly thanks.

Status: offline 		I learned on the GP Flylite and swear by it. It is EASY and SLOW. I even have it set up now as a trainer with a slower speed than stock. I've only "trained" on it once though. My student said it was easier than the Realflight Sim. A sim is highly recommended too. Good luck, there's lots of good planes to learn on probably. How about the champ?

Status: offline 		Why not add another $100 and buy a good simulator. Real Flight 6.5 is a good one and you will save yourself the money of crashing planes while you are learning.

Status: offline 		The Hobbyzone Mini Super Cub mentioned above is hard to beat, as is the GWS slow stick for about the same price. The Super Cub bounces better, but if you do manage to break the slow stick it will cost you about $2 and maybe an hour of your time for a new fuselage (it's just a stick). Batteries are cheap for it too.

For me, an ARF is an airplane that someone else just crashed.

Status: offline 		I also went the same as mentioned above which was the Hobbyzone Super Cub. Was a great first plane and im sure many other pilots will have started out the same way.
