Default RE: taking off

Hello again!

By and large most RC planes take off and land on wheels just like full scale aircraft. By the way, you may find some resistance to the use of the phrase "real plane." Miniature aircraft are subject to the same laws of physics as full size ones, so they are technically "real," just not full scale. It's probably safe to say your first plane will take off and land like full scale. Anyway, hand launching is common, but not usually appropriate for someone just beginning.
