Ok, so I’m new to this section of the forums... no planes just boats, but I would like to give it a go. I have been looking at the Stryker F-27 mainly b/c it comes with everything. All my TX & RX are 2ch pistol grip so useless in a plane if I want 3ch’s - strike one. All my cells are sub-c 6 cell Ni-mh - strike two. And strike three none of my chargers will work with lipo's... and what the hell strike four - never flown an RC plane before, lol

I live on 2 Acers (171ft x 507ft + the neighbors neutral airspace, lol) of land and would like something like the Stryker b/c of the throw to launch and the belly landing, basically something I could walk out the back door with and not need a runway while I learn

My main questions are derived from my RC boat experience. First of all, the boats I have needed better radios (The RTR boats come with cheap radios, and I live in a high RF traffic area, been a problem with my boats glitching out) soooo...

1. Is the RX/TX with this plane worth a damn?
Meaning that it could be used with possible new additions to my fleet, same goes for the cells, charger, motor...

2. Is it a good starter plane?
Remember never been a pilot before, lol. Will it fly very slowwwwwwwly?

3. The price of this plane is like $170 and in 20min I could be in the air b/c it comes with everything needed to fly. The time it takes to get in the air doesn’t matter as much as the easy packaging of parts that work together does. Are there any kits or RTF’s that would be good for a beginner, while also keeping me from going broke? I would rather have a good TX/RX, charger, cells that could be used in other aircraft, ect. in the future.

Thanx in advance,
Bill
