cheap begginer plane?
Go to towerhobbies.com and look at the combos. There are a few trainers there that have everything. I would pesonally upgrade them to futaba radios. Little more money but worth it. Basically you are looking for a high wing plane with a flat bottom or semi symetrical wing. Something in the .40 size. That means it takes an engine that is .40 CI displacement. Get a 6 channel radio so you can grow into it with planes later with flaps, retracts or both. I like the goldberg eagle II for a trainer or the Falcon 3 by goldberg. There are lot of planes on the market that look just like the eagle II and fly about the same. Look at something like that to start.
