Default RE: My First Plank

I reckon go with the P51 PTS. I stll have mine after hundreds of flights and its performance is as good as any ARF/RTFwarplane. Start off with the flaps mechanically down and the other suggestions in the manual until you have got the hang of it. You can progressively raise the flaps (install the servers for functional flaps), get a faster prop and finally remove the droops for a fully fledged warplane. The fixed landing gear is canted well forward and pretty strong so the plane will not tip or break the undercarraige on rough landings (both are typical problems with warplanes). The plane is reasonably tough and simple compared to a heli, I just got mine back in the air after snapping it in half when I lost Rx contact.
