Hello,

Try Multiplex EasyStar (with the RTF package). It comes with high quality Multiplex micro servos, Multiplex speed controller and Hitec 3 channel radio. All are quality electronics that can be used on other planes. Too many RTF planes comes with cheap one-time use that is a waste of money. It is extremely rugged and easy to fly. Simply the best thing for beginner in my opinion. Dai Phan

Yup, Multixplex has some good starter packages, including Magister and Space Scooter.

try a Parkzone Cub, quite a few people learn to fly on those things.
