For someone who is new to RC flying, is it better to go with a RTF or a ARF model? I have the model I want picked out but it is available in both ARF and RTF versions. Part of me just wants to get it, do some assembly work and then meet up with my instructor to learn how to fly it. Another part wants to learn more about my plane then just flying. Having to research radios, engines, etc can only help me become a better pilot. In the mean time I have my electric trainer and my instructor's planes to keep me busy with flying skills.
Any advice woulr be appreciated.
