Default RE: building rc plane.

Dude, you're not operating in reality. Even commercially designed RC model jets are hard to fly, nearly impossible for a beginner. A homebuilt copy of some fantasy plane from a video game built by someone who doesn't know about aero design is going to have next to zero chance of being flyable even by someone with experience, let alone a beginner. Sorry to burst your bubble, but you are not a "pretty decent pilot." You've had airplane toys and have some experience playing with them. That's about like me saying I can drive a car because I had an RC toy car as a kid. No offense, but you are a novice pilot who, if you'll put some time and energy into it, could learn to be a competent pilot and fly real models soon. We know this hobby and we're telling you that your goal was way unrealistic. The good news is that we've also given you some good guidance on planes you probably can handle as a beginner, so mow a few yards and get something that will work the way you need it to.
