If you have NEVER flown before, I would recommend the Hobbyzone Firebird Stratos. It is about the easiest plane to fly there is and will help a lot with orientation and landing. The plane can be flown with or without the tricycle landing gear. It was my first plane and I still fly it a lot despite having a few other planes including the HZ Super Cub and HZ Champ. It won't break the bank at $130.00 RTF either.</p>
