RE: IS this plane anygood?
The plane you have selected will work well as long as you receive the help mentioned in the preceding posts. I don't want to get into an argument but I disagree with Dai Phan's
comments. Glow airplanes have the power to fly in windy (within reason) conditions and many (but not all) electrics have marginal flight characteristics IMHO. Balsa planes are also fine, TRUST ME. With an instructor, you and your glow aircraft will be flying on the first good weather weekend. Definitely go with the "buddy box" system if at all possible. Enjoy your flying. BTW, there is NOTHING on the market you can fly 30 minutes out of the box. They ALL need to have their batteries charged, although I suppose you could use a field quick charger.(Another unneeded expense)
ps. I just looked at the plane Dai Phan recommended. IMHO [:'(][:'(][:'(]
