Hi,
I have been interested in r/c gliders/sailplanesfor years but could not get myself to buy a plane for fear of crashing, thus wasting my money. Correct me if Iam wrong but from my research, first time flyers should persue a foam plane due to their durability??? but the downfall is that they are heavier??? Also, I have been told my an older fellow to start with 4 channels because thats the"correct way to fly?" Ineed some input as to a first time glider/sailplane??? I have never built a plane before, so Iam wondering if there are any RTFs available???and if so are there any 4 channels??? I say this becuase Iwas thinking of later adding a power pod if Iactually learn to fly. Also,I am unfamiliar with theelectronic such asthe different types of servosand the radios???Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
cj
