Default RE: Beginner Plane

Mike is right!!...I too am STILL a beginner...I would not touch the planes you mentioned as example.
I myself started with a Hobbico Nexstar.....awesome trainer. I started with many hours on the Aerofly Pro flight simulator....then bought the Hobbico Nexstar and maiden that one without a problem. Two weekends later I was solo....(knock on wood)..no crashes so far. I'm still flying the Nexstar...it is a nice, sturdy and quick plane. There are many similar models out, alike the nexstar. I am currently switching to a Twist 3D...but Mike is right...if you want to get serious with this wonderful hobby..take it slow....train with a trainer...get used to the control surfaces....so a 100 take offs and landings...then move on!!

Other than that...WELCOME TO THE HOBBY!!
