So if any of you have any ideas or tips, and expecially safety tips besides stay away from the prop I would greatly appreciate it.
Here are a couple of tips.
1. A P-51D is NOT a good trainer!!!!!!!1
2. They best way to learn is with an instructor at a club flying field.
3. Never Fly directly at yourself..
knight1,
Last tip I'm assuming you're buying small electrics as opposed to glow powered planes. Look at the Slow Stick, Pico Stick and Tigermoth by GWS They are good flyers and inexpensive.
Use the search function here and at ezonemag.com to learn more about what qualifies as a "good" trainer plane. everybody has their favorite but they all share similar design and performance characteristics.
Good luck hope you enjoy the hobby
