i want an RTF plane, i am a complete noob to flying (though i have flown a real prop plane several times)
so which do you reckon is best out of these:
Parkzone Spitfire
Parkzone FW109
Parkzone P-51
Hobbyzone Aerobird freedom
Hobbyzone Super Cub
any others???
basically i love WW2 planes, and the super cub
however only the supercub and Aerobird freedom say it is adviseable for noobs
please tell me i can get me a spitfire as a first plane for a noob!!!
Thanks in advance

I vote for the Super Cub. The aerobird would probably be fine but the cub looks more like a full size plane. While you are crashing and rebuilding the cub (you will crash, we all crash) as you learn to fly you can be saving up for the WWII planes.
Finding a local pilot to help you will shorten the learning curve and save you money (and time) spent on repairs.

seems sensible to start and work up
would something like a simulator help???
i have FMS and play occasionally with a keyboard
i have read the user reviews on this site, it seems between the Spitfire and the Super cub....
i will have to look in my LHS at the wk/end
well got the list down somewhat

A simulator is the single best thing you can invest in however if you choose to use the FMS system, you really need to get the correct cable and hook up an actual transmitter in order to learn anything, with that in mind any simulator with teach you the basics of how to control the plane as long as your using a transmitter like you will use with your RC planes.
I wouldn't recommend a WWII plane as your first plane, I tried a GWS P51 as my first plane to solo on and it didn't survive the first attempt at flight. I would really recommend the GWS Slow Stick http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXHCJ2&P=ML
for your first plane, then as suggested above move onto other planes once you know how to fly.
