I'm new to RC planes. I bought a real flight 3.5 simulator to get started. My next step will be to buy a plane. I would like suggestions on a good quality first electric plane.
From your 1st statement I am guessing you have never flown an RC plane.
A couple of questions are in order before any recomendations can logically be provided.
1. Do you presently have or plan on getting an instructor ? (HIGHLY recommended ) Your instructor can provide some very good suggestions for a trainer.
2. How much money do you want to spend ? FWIW you will not get anything even half way decent for much under $200.
3. Where do you plan on flying the plane, specifically, how large is the area, are there many trees in the area and how windy does it get where you plan on flying. The size of the flying area, wind and degree of manuverability information will be needed to make a good recomendation
