Default RE: Is it that easy?

Welcome to the addiction. I hope you are here to stay and have a wonderful time. That being said I will answer your question honestly. You need a club and an instructor. It is a brilliant idea to join the AMA that cost 58 dollars for a year of 2mil in liability insurance. It also allows you to fly at AMA sanctioned clubs without hassle. To answer your question....

Yes and no, while this http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...I=LXEXK2**&P=0 will get you a plane and radio and a simulator. It is something many have learned on with the help of instruction. What it does not cover is http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXL419&P=0 and http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXGHC1&P=0 ... or these
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXEYD4&P=0 Now all of this stuff is not needed you can fly with fuel a manual pump a glow driver and a chicken stick. I have done it. I had some good times without all the extras. They do eventually pile up in $$ ....


All that being said you can have a great time with something like this http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXVVX2&P=0 there are fewer extras you will need and it is a great way to get into the hobby these little electrics are great for starting out. It will allow you to move into things with less investment. Once you are properly addicted you can move into whatever you like.

If you are a nitro junkie like me then it is a larger investment.

Just my two cents...
