Even small electrics can cause a lot of damage...

I have a bunch of stitches in my arm that remind me of this every day.

Planes and the general public don't mix, that is what the flying fields are for.

The very cheap planes will not teach you to fly properly and you will get more out of your money if you throw it into the trash directly. That way you will not have to unlearn the bad habits.

Yeah a glow is a great way to start, especially a trainer. They are slow and relatively easy to regain control of. Not so those tiny electrics.

You CAN do an electric trainer as I posted, the battery packs for that guy are not that much more money.


But as others have suggested you'll save a bundle if you put this stuff together yourself...

e.g. buy your radio and plane seperately.... such as an ARF glow or electric trainer.

Ask questions about what works with what first and you'll get good recommendations here.

You'll also learn a lot in the process.

Right this looks like more hassle than it's worth because you are getting started and haven't done this before, but the voice of experience is talking in all of the above posts.

Notice that they are collectively trying to stear you in a particular direction, for VERY GOOD REASONS, we've all been where you are.

You need not repeat our mistakes, as you are starting to do.
