Default RE: Complete Beginner with questions.

I want to add to Piper Chucks advice since I pretty much agree with what he has told you thus far. A good flying, small electric Plane to start with would be something from GWS like the pico stick, or better yet in my opinion the pico Tiger Moth. Parkzone, Eflite, and some of the other stuff is probally O.K, but the equipment you use to fly the GWS Planes is "good stuff" that can be used in other small Planes, and you will be able to get alot of future use from. You can buy this in a ready to fly package with mostly everything needed to fly, but I would again take Piper Chucks recommendation to get the better Radio. I would also agree that starting on a Sim without any previous assistance from a Knowledgable Flyer will indeed plant some bad habits into your thumbs. So please forget about the fact that you are a noob, and realize that none of us that fly have ever stopped learning. I learn new things everytime I fly. So don't label yourself as a noob who knows nothing, but rather a new pilot who has lots to learn. Starting off on the right foot, taking the good advice of those who came before you, and having a good positive attitude will get you flying like an old pro much more quickly! Good Luck!
