Help on buying a plane.
 
Im a beginner looking at buying a plane. I have narrowed down my choices to banana hobbies TW cessna http://www.bananahobby.com/1783.html and Park flyers Decathlon
http://www.parkflyers.com/html/decat...ly_r_fras.html

If anyone knows anything about these planes or could tell me which one would be better for a beginner that would be great. Thanks

I haven't flown either airplane, but i have heard nothing but BAD THINGS about Banana Hobbies. Buy at your own risk.

you might want to start off with a larger plane. smaller planes like those can be touchy and hard to learn on. something in a 50 to 60" wingspan trainer. and if you start off with electrics there is more to learn about them. if it were me i would start off with a balsa and ply model with iron on covering and start with a glow engine. stay away from foam electrics until you get more experience. just my opinion
