if you get a EPP glider you don't have to worry about bashing it up, the fuel is free and lasts all day and you can get going for the price of just a ARTF trainer alone.

as with a engine tuning thread going on here at the mo, as you don't have any training yet it's not a very wise idea to try this on your own, you WILL kill the plane within a few seconds. dosn't matter how far the club is, you need to get there. the EPP glider how ever will survive that first bump, plus the rest and you can self teach.
