Default RE: EDF RTR Kit For Beginner

<div>     I have a twin EDF Su-27 that came RTF, similar to what you are looking for. When I first flew it, I nearly crashed, and I have been flying larger aerobatic glow models for years.  They are a completely different animal. You have no "pull" when recovering from a stall, and you have to keep the speed up to stay in the air. </div><div>
</div>    What you could do is go buy an RTF jet off of Nitroplanes, then cannibalize it for parts. Put these in a trainer. You can pick up an electric trainer, minus electronics, for next to nothing. You will need to purchase an ESC and motor-prop combo, though. Servos, receiver, and transmitter can be used from the EDF. <div>
</div><div>    This way, you get your jet, learn to fly, and then can transfer the electronics back to the jet when you are ready. </div><div>
