RE: Good beginner 3D ARF
How much is aluminum in California. That sounds like a lot of cans.
ORIGINAL: Spaceclam
tpierce, i am 14 and i definatly know what money restraints are. i make some extra $ by recycling aluminum cans and it takes me over a year of scrounging money to pay for a new plane, but it is well worth it. when you get a 3d plane, all that extra "no benifit" extra stuff suddenly has a great deal of benifit to you. partly because your skills have improved, partly because the plane is more responsive. i saved up and saved up and sold everything i did not need and bought an EF yak with a 110 and digital servos all around and i would have waited twice that long for how happy i am with this. it really does make a difference. keep saving up. that's all i can say. ask any of us kids here on rcu. it is tough

RE: Good beginner 3D ARF
cans go for $1.25/lb and there are 29 cans per lb. see, it gets hot here so i just have my neighbors save up their cans (they drink a lot of soda) and i come by once a week and cha-ching. one of those families saving up cans is nothing and the return is very low, so they dont do it. but 5-6 families....

All the majic arfs are ok but they have a weak spot near the wing.
If you wanted to build which it sounds likeyou dont, the Morris Hobbies Gee-Whiz-Bee is great.
The only way you can learn is alot of practice and tail weight doesn't hurt either. It doesn't come over night.
Dont forget to fly the rudder andhave fun.
