Imo,,,,for a begginer..a pusher style plane is your 1st best choice...in which the t-hawk worked great for me and many others.....I never owned 1 ..but the easystar seems to be a great plane...and for a puller plane thatcan do some aroabtics..the sky-scooter pro2 is an unbelievable deal/flyer..for under $140 you get a great/tuff plane..thats easily reapairable..and everything is included..even a 72mhz hitec radio system...G.l whatever you choose..my best advice is TAKE YOUR TIME AND READ/RESEARCH before you buy anything in this hobby.. this will ensure your flying success...while saving you the most money..

I started with the Aerobird Challenger. I have enjoyed this plane a lot. I only started in this hobby about 2 months ago and have many flights under my belt.
This is a great plane that is 3ch so it allows you to do basic aerobatics.

I would definitely recomend the Aerobird Challenger. I bought one and have about 7 flights and couldn't be happier! You can find it for $120, get some upgrade batteries, and some kool x-port modules for well under $200. My friend saw it flying and soon he might buy one so we can do dogfights with the Sonic Combat. You can even learn to do some beginner acrobatics and it can take some tough crashes. It's a great buy for the money!

I have over 300 flights on my Aerobirds. Love 'em. And the accesories just make this plane so much fun.

I highly recommend the Easy Start either as n RTF for about $180 or as an ARF for about $55

T-Hawk is a great RTF value at about $170, or buy your own radio and receiver and get the plane receiver ready for about $120. Super package.

If you have a smaller space and fairly calm wind conditions, or if you want to fly indoors, look at the Slo-V from Parkzone.

If you have some experience or help, I also like the Multiplex Space Scooter either as an RTF for $180 or an ARF for about $60.

All good choices

I'd recommend my Super Star EP which is made by Hobbico...

Good lookin' plane, flys great and I learned to fly with this plane. I am actually selling it and moving on to another plane so if you're interested, you can PM me or better yet, check it out here...

Yes, Aerobird is 27 mhz and uses fishing line for control lines. R/E/T controls. 1/2 mile radio range.
