RE: Looking for a First Plane
Doesn't sound like a good idea man.
Besides the fact that you wouldn't be able to land the bird untill you are out of fuel, you really need a servo on the engine to keep the arm from moving. You also need to be able to tune it.
You would have to hand launch it, I guess thats not a huge deal since it is so small.
In my opinion, its a bad idea. You need at least 3 channels to fly any glow plane, and four if it has ailerons.
