Default RE: Good First Plane?

Thanks for the incite.

The more forums I read, the more I want to get into the hobby...Unfortunately, I have already began creating a wish list. Oddly, each of those are a little more than what I can handle in the back yard, lol. BUT -- I need to learn to fly first...I suppose since I will not be heading to any RC Club fields any time soon, I should stick with a simple foamie that I can putter around with. . . . Once I get a clue, I can begin earning some build experience and start working my way through the ranks!

*** Are the foam 4 Channel Warbirds from Nitro Planes worth thinking about? Excellent selection, and most are DIRT CHEAP! I know they are a far strech from a balsa build; but I keep hearing more and more good things about foam... Perhaps a good second plane? Or maybe a small collection, lol. I love the look of the A-10's and Mustangs for that matter the spitfire isn't bad looking either. Anyone with any experience with these, please offer your opinion! I'm curious about the shipped radio, reliability, *crash rating :-) and so on. -- If there is a thread on them, please feel free to point me in the right direction.

Thanks again!
