RE: Novice in Need
If the intent is to learn to fly that glow powered Corsair then don,t try to side step the mentor/instructor equation and forget starting with electric. That will only increase the time and money expended as you climb that learning curve.
Always if you goal is glow powered equipment and later large gas then start with a glow powered trainer. I get so many who attemped with small electric and by themselves who failed when their goal was larger glow aircraft in the first place. Their needless expenditure of money at times shocking is and for no real gain.
To the original poster: Get help if that means joining the ama and a local club then do it. Use an appropriate trainer airplane and equipment, If you goal is that Corsair then start with a glow trainer.
Last but not least allow your mentor/instructor to help you with exactly what equipment is appropriate to use.
Do these things and you Will reach your goals/dreams with the least frustrations, certainly the least expenditure of money.
