RE: Help with first plane
It's a trainer...
It obviously has had a few run-ins with objects or the ground based upon the patches on the wings. I'm sure they're repaired properly but it is something I would check in person. The engine looks in good shape too. I would ask about the batteries in the TX and RX, have they been abused, old, etc.
I purchased my first plane last year, all built and ready to go with radio and engine. Very happy with it (Hanger 9 Easy 2). I did end up replacing the radio I had (JR) cause there were very few people at our field who could buddy box with me. I have a Carl Goldberg Tiger 2 ready to go for the middle/end of this summer once I'm feeling very comfortable with flying this season. I picked up a Futaba 9C for that plane and I intend to get both planes configured with that radio at some point.
