The Seduction is not a plane to learn to fly on. Get one of the trainer ARFs such as the SIG LT-40 or Hobbico SuperStar.

I would stay away from the "package deals" ( RTF).

The reasons are as follows:

1. The engine, while USUALLY fine for a trainer, will have marginal power for a second plane.

2. The radio is usually a BASE LEVEL radio. Yes, it will do the job, but chances are you will outgrow the radio in a short time.

3. You usually CAN NOT MAKE ANY SUBSTITUTIONS.

I recommend the following:

1. Select an ARF you like the looks of (The MAJORITY of trainers fly the same). A flat bottom airfoil is usually preferred over a semi symetrical airfoil for beginners since the semi symetrical airfoil lands noticeably faster than a flat bottom air foil. When you are learning, SLOW and STABLE is what you want.

2. Get a decent ball bearing 46 size engine. Thunder Tiger Pro, OS FX/AX, and possibly the Evolution engines are extremely user friendly and normally run well right out of the box with no tinkering. Stay away from the OS LA line of engines. As for MDS, do a search on them and form your own conclusion on whether or not their nick names are justified. Another possibility is the GMS line. The GMS do require more "tinkering" than any of the others, but they are an inexpensive, very powerful engine.

3. Get a 6 channel (or more) COMPUTER radio. You will not out grow the radio for several years under normal circumstances.

Yes, this will cost more than a "package deal" (RTF) initially, but it will be cheaper in the long run.

Finally, Find a club and get an instructor. Teaching your self to fly has a steep learning curve and a first flight of USUALLY LESS THAN 30 seconds, which frequently results in damage to the plane and/or equipment on it.
