Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
I've been reading this forum (a lot) to look for advice on choosing my first R/C Airplane. I've flown before (when I was younger with my dad), so it isn't completely new to me. I've narrowed down my choices (i think) and I'm looking for:
<ul>[*]tail-wheel airplane[*]RTF model (i'm not looking to spend tons of time building)[*]not electric[*]40 or 60 size...probably 60...?[/list]I'm sure that I'll be in a little over my head with these specs, but I'm looking for something that will be my only airplane for awile (i'm also a pilot, so that's my already time-consuming hobby). Can I get an airplane like this for less than $300? Should I compromise on anything? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Could you quantify your statement, "I've flown before (when I was younger with my Dad)"? We get a wide variety of people in here so you could be 16 yrs old and talking about last summer or 65 talking about half a century ago. Also what kind of plane where you flying? Giving us a better idea of your experience will help us make a proper recomendation for you.
