hi ,i need a good beginner plane can some one help tel me what plane to get thk you. bill
You found the Beginner forum so you're in the right place.
On the first couple of pages are several threads of "which trainer," "new person needs advice," "what should I buy," etc. There's a lot of info in the replies.

Assuming you want a plane with an engine versus one with an electric motor:
SIG LT-40
Hobbico Superstar
Tower Hobbies Trainer
Thunder Tiger Trainer
Hangar 9 Alpha
World Models Sky Raider Mach I
There are probably at least a dozen more but all of the above are good.

Before you spend any money or head down a specific path, try to find a flying club in your area and talk to the people there. This site has a club finder that works for all of the US.

Most clubs have instructors to teach you to fly for no additional cost above joining the club. One of the instructors or other members might have a trainer plane for sale at a good price.
