Please correct me if i am wrong, but a couple people are mentioning planes like the hobbistar 60.

I am not interested in a nitro trainer plane right now, only electric.

So which electric trainers are decent?


People keep mentioning the apprentice, but seeing how that is $300 is there a cheaper plane that is maybe smaller and easier to learn off? Basically if i crash it or beat it up it wouldnt be so bad as wrecking a $300 trainer.

I am not concerned with money really when it comes to model planes but if a know i am going to crash a trainer (a bunch) why spend $300? Just asking.


Thanks,

In the case of learning to fly R/C bigger is better and a whole lot easier. You mention that you expect to crash a lot... Why, are you planning to do this on your own without the assistance of an instructor? If that is the case then yes, you will crash a lot. I would also recomend you get a good R/C simulator as that will give you plenty of practical practice without destroying planes.
