Looking for solid beginner package
Hi Everyone,
A friend is looking for a plane he can go fly with his son in a park. He's not interested in joining a club, just wants something durable that they can enjoy together. His price point was around $350 for an RTF setup. He isn't pulled toward electric or glow - said he doesn't care for the 'real feel of an engine' but doesn't want to be too limited with flying time. I fly both but think electric is really the way to go, especially if for those not interested in seeking experienced help the first few times (ok years) out.
My new job and living situation really limits my time online, so I just don't have time to search the forums or Tower or wherever else. My experience is also in clubs and larger fields, so Tower Trainer RTF is probably not the right choice, let alone available from Tower right now.
My uncle started rc flight on his own, think he started with a 3ch plane with a pusher prop, and really liked it. He's away though, and I thought I'd see what else was out there as I personally liked a more scale look to my first plane.
Thanks in advance,
Joe
