As they say boats are a hole in the water to throw money in, I guess planes are about the same !!!
Actually "Boat" is an acronym for "Break Out Another Thousand", don't ask me how I know this..........

Now, this being the beginner's section I gotta ask, have you ever flown RC airplanes before? If no, then sure buy the plane if you like it, and keep it for your third or so plane after you've worked your way through a couple of actual RC trainer planes first.

Simply put, even though the full scale (real, carries people) Cessna 150 is used to train people how to fly, a 10 foot model of one really isn't likely to be the best choice for an RC trainer.

A gent named GBLyndon just posted a whole thread (link below) of appropriate RC trainers and something from his list really oughta be what you start out with......
