RE: New to the Hobby
Hi,
And welcome! Good on you for wanting to build. But seriously, first airplanes get wolopped quite a bit. The little and fragile Guillow's types just are not tough enough.
You could go with an inexpensive electic foamy type to start with. Radio and other ground gear (chargers and the like) will be no different. But a SIMPLE foam trainer will let you bash around without costing you days of bench time.
Spending a few weeks building and going out to make a 20 second flight that ends in a sack of tooth pics is not fun.
We would really like to see you learn to fly!
