Do you, as a complete newbie with no flight experience, know how to build a kit that is going to actually fly? Do you know what actually makes a plane fly so that you build the kits right?
Chuck , I understand the advice. The kit that I have built I got out of scratch and dent for $15 so I'm really only out the time and effort spent building, but that that's still a lot! I totally understand and that's one reason why I am on here looking for some advice. I've followed the instructions on the kit as close as possible. I really would like to try it out but I probably won't do so until I can learn to fly.

Ideally I wish I could find an indor R/C balsa build that would be small enough to learn to fly indoors, but not sure such a thing exists.


Our club has been looking at the swift as a club build for indoor flying. It uses a parkzone brick for control. Very small and lightweight.
Price is a little steep at around $150 ish so we are still evaluating our options.
