Default RE: best for begginers


ORIGINAL: shajaan6
I figured it would be best for me to learn on an electric that way I wouldnt have to deal with the engine and any problems it has. With electric I could focus on learning to fly, then move to the glow world.

I dont really want a park flyer I think they are ugly, I was looking at some of the inducted fan rc planes alot of them said great for beginners but I dont know what to believe.

Only diffrence between RTF and BNF is with BNF I can choose and buy whatever remote I want, but all the equipment is in the plane correct?

Thanks for all the help provided by the RCU people in advance!




Read your own post and others its obvious your goal is glow power. I will take tremendous heat for even suggesting this but I am going to anyway! Forget electric start out with a conventional proper glow powered trainer, The uglier the better. Do not screw around with ducted fan, it will be a money drain and contribute very little to your learning comprehension.

Good airmanship can only be acheved by a climb up that airmanship ladder one rung at a time. Start skipping rungs in that ladder and you will end up with holes in your knowledge/skills and that means wasted money lots of it.


You will save considerable money and walk a shorter road in acheving your dreams by starting with glow.

As far as BNF, I,ve no idea what that is beyond another peddlar coining yet another phrase to fit his product but just adds to the confusion of new folks.

This is an active vibrant club probably right near you if you are from Palmdale like your profile says. The fly off a permanent site on the south end of Muroc dry lake at Edwards. Do yourself a favor network with them and get involved before you start buying Stuff. You will not regrete it.
