Hi

Welcome to the hobby spitfire1939, the guys resposes are correct ive just built my first spitfire and its ALOT different to flying a trainer plane

I learnt to fly on the Irvine Tutor 40 Almost Ready To Fly plane, which i think you can pick up for about £60.00 which i thinks a great plane, of course it doesnt have the looks of a warbird, but its builds in a few evenings, easy and very very stable to fly...... i then moved onto a Great Planes SuperSportster, which was my first low wing plane as i was told if i could fly the SuperSportster i could manage a Spitfire and they were right ...... very similar in flight. But i seem have been bitten by the hobby i just cant stop buying kits and buliding more and more planes lol.

RC Universe is a excellent way to learn things..... but a club is invalauble im sure they are clubs near you, althou your more than welcome to come down to our club in Hemel Hempstead to get the taste of things, were all freindly down here and the tips and adivice you learn from other flyers in invalauble... Im currently bulding the website but its at www.hhmfc.co.uk so feel free to take a look

Good Luck
