Suggestiions for Beginner
Hello everyone.
I recently got motivated to enter the RC flying hobby.
When I was 16, I started to obtain my Private Pilot's license and achieved it thanks to a good instructor. I remember trying to get into lined RC30 years ago with a Cox, only to find I was too immature to get into the hobby then. Boy you should have seen my knuckles.
Anyway, I have purchased a Tower hobbies 60 trainer, and a Big Stick 40. I also bought an Irvine 53 ABC and a OS 50 SX. I originally planned to put the OS in the Trainer, but now I am thinking of putting it in the Stik and putting the Irvine in the trainer. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.

planes
It does not matter which one If you need help join a near by club and get help if you need to learn or you'll end up with two crashed planes trying to learn on your own

Thanks Jetranger,
FYI I decided to put the ABC engine (Irvine) in the 60 trainer. From 90 percent built, it is now 99.9 percent built. Next step is to balance it. What a very nice experience putting the kit together!
As for instruction, I am planning to get it definitely. As I was putting the kit together, being proud of my accomplishment, I would definitely hate for it to go to waste.
As for the Tower trainer, nice kit. But I really cannot compare it to anything yet. I have just purchased a Stik, and I plan to put it together with the OS 50sx.
Thanks
