Moses912,
No! do not listen to these people! They don't know what they are takling about,heck 2 of them have less thn 60 years building and flying experience,all newbies know that not enough knowledge. probably most of them has on built between 60 and 125 planes,you can't count on that small amount of planes.LUCKLEY you found me to guide you do the path you wanted to hear.Get a Carden or AW 1/2 scale,they are easy to see, 3w or small Volkswagon engine,impress the friends,9z or bigger radio,all those switches to hold on with, go fly at the public park,that way don't have to worry about dumb rules,instructors want you to do things there way, so go by yourself,don't forget to fill out the T.O.C.forms, because after the first flight you're ready.

P.S. please post pictures of flight,thanks.
