RE: Is this a good first plane?
Actually I would vote for the Cessna. I have the parkflyers version and it is an easy to fly plane. The one in the first post has an outrunner brushless motor, set up for LiPo, already has flaps and ailerons, and steerable nose wheel. That should take off and land on pavement with no problem.
Just remember, fixed wing and rotory wing aircraft are not harder to fly than each other, just different.
While you are at it, don't forget to order a couple of battery packs, that is not included with the plane.
If you get the wild hawk, you will have problems going to a plane with ailerons.
