Default COMPLETE NOOB with questions............

well here goes ..................... ive decided to enter into the hobby of R/C planes the kit that caught my eye is the Kadet Senoritta as at the hobby store in St Louis its $60 granted id have to pay for the finishing stuff and the motor servos etc etc but does this sound like a good FIRST plane ?

Anyone have any comments or recomedations or know of any clubs in the St louis area ?

Thanks in advance and sorry if its a boring opening post but liek I said am a noob and a total one at that

Welcome David,
For starters, you are in the full scale aviation forum here..

BUT, that would be a fine first plane. The Kadets are all easy flyers.

Best of luck.

Hello David,

head over to this link, the RC Planes/Beginners forum:
http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/forumid_85/tt.htm

You can probably browse there and find the answer to your question already written a thousand times. If I had my 'druthers, a good first plane would have four channels, with aileron control. Not sure if the Senorita has those or not.

Also, to get in the air faster, you might want an ARF.... buy the Senorita anyway and put it aside for a winter build project. That's a good all-around airplane. But, that's your choice.

Good luck. You're going to love this hobby.

Bob
