Default RE: Beginner Plane

Sorrry but I have to go along with MikeG on this one. Those are not beginner planes & I doubt very seriously that either one would survive the first flight much less the first day.

The Spectrum radio you put up is a nice radio, unfortunately it is strictly a parkflyer radio. It does not have the range a regular radio does. If you were to buy that radio you would be committing yourself to parkflyer type planes only. Parkflyers are great but I certainly wouldn't want to limit myself to them.

I have some 3D foam planes along the lines of what you are looking at, & I can assure you they are not for beginners. Nor do they withstand much in the way of abuse. They break extremely easy.

If you really want to learn to fly get a Traditional type Trainer, a regular radio system, & most importantly a club Instructor. Join the AMA so that you will have liability insurance when observing the AMA safety guidelines, & any club will teach you to fly for free as long as you have your AMA. Joining the club later will have it's own costs & advantages of membership. Do it this way & before you know it you will be able to fly those kind of planes successfully.

Good luck.
