You probably will not like this answer but none of those are really suited for your first RC plane. You would be better off reading advice in the beginers forum and getting a plane that will make learning easier as a beginner. Trainers are not cool looking but they serve a purpose as a plane that is stable and easier to fly. At 16 i would hope for your plane bought with your hard earned money to last longer than a few seconds.

If you don't know how to fly yet I wouldn't recommend any of them. If you do know how to fly then pick anyone you like. The A10 seems ok.

you need to add this one to the list http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=HAN4400 if you have never flown before. Also you will need a trainer to fly it.

Thx for all reply

Why do you said that those plane are hard to fly ??? they have not stability ??? I just want to know because Trainer cost ±300 $ !!!

thats only 50 for one of them ok so picture buying 6 to 8 of them because you have crashed that many learning how to fly it. the trainer and trainer airplane will teach you how to fly then you can move on and sell the airplane and engine and get a new airplane on the radio.

That might help some, not sure how good it could be for under $20, when the top sims are $200+. A sad fact of this hobby is, IT ISNT CHEAP. If you buy cheap parts or planes, they usually dont work nearly as well or at all, and you dont get to have any fun. My advice would be to Forget about the cheap toys, accept that $300 for a trainer is pretty reasonable, and go from there.
Trust me, if you spend the $ and get the good plane (and have an instructor help you learn to fly) you are going to have a Blast!
If you go for the cheap little planes, you will most likely spend 10 seconds at a time getting to fly, then hours repairing, or waiting on new parts, and wondering why it didnt work. (and not likely having any fun doing it) I see it like this, Spend $300 and have hours and hours of fun, and have a trainer to teach other on, or spend nearly as much in the end, have hours and hours of aggrivation, and in the end have nothing to show for it.

I learned to fly with gliders, its not a bad place to start they do everything relatively slowly and give you lots of time to recover from mistakes. If you want to go electric I would really avoid glow trainers because you will put a lot of money into them with all of the support equipment you need. The key to your success will be in finding an experienced flier to help get you through your first flights. If you want to go nitro planes this plane might be a decent place to start:

I see you are from Rimouski.

You have a very accomplished R/C pilot in your city, who flies 40% IMAC style planes.

His name is Steve Dionne. Steve is a great guy and will steer you in the right direction.

All of the planes you have mentioned in your first post here are not suitable for beginners.

Listen to what the experienced people here are telling you. Get a trainer type airplane to learn to fly, and once you have your wings, you can then consider some of these airplanes.

If you go to RCCanada and do a search for Steve Dionne, he will help you get set up. Tell him I gave you his name.

NONE of them are good for learning how to fly. You need to start with a high wing trainer, then to a low wing aerobatic plane. Then, IF you are really good with the second plane, go with one of the planes you mentioned.

When you are learning how to fly, slower is better.

Think of it this way - when you started learning to ride a bike you didn't just get on a light weight specialized racing bike and go. You started with training wheels (the trainer) to learn the balance and how to control the bike. Then you went to a larger bike with out the training wheels (your 2nd plane, usually a low wing) and r4efined the skills you learned on the 1st bike - better control, improving your balance and increasing your speed while doing these things. Then, when you got good, you could go and get the light weight specialized racing bike, but even then there was a learning curve from the 2nd bike.

I know this isn't what you want to hear, however, unless you follow these guidelines you will be throwing your money away.
