hey ive never ever touched an rc plane(big on cars, rustler with tons of upgrades and losi micro t), Im 15 and i have exactal $110.96 left on my debt card, im looking to buy an INDISTRUCTOBLE (with cheap reaplacment wings and parts) that can hold a gopro and is extremly easy to fly, prefereble 4ch because ill get better but depending on the 3ch mabye. Please help me choose, i was loooking at the bixler but i feel like 1 crash and the wings are gone and tail. ALSO IT MUST BE RTF WITH SHIPPING FOR UNDER $110

It doesn't exist. A plane that can carry a Go pro and still fly well is going to be bigger than the cheap little foamies and more expensive. You might scan your local Craigslist in hopes of finding a Hobby Zone Super Cub used though. I've seen lots of beginners learn on them and do ok. It's not indestructible (note how that word is spelled) but it is easy to repair and parts for it are cheap.

It doesnt have to fly well with the gopro, it has to b able to fly with a gopro. Also not even the bixler or the wildhawk? I know that theyr both pretty durable.

I would not put a GoPro on any RC plane... However, one of the little "keychain spy camera" setups is very light and can be stuck on about anything. It is also a lot cheaper to replace than the GoPro when you crash...

Yes it does need to fly well unless you have a big credit card to keep replacing planes and cameras. I know a Gopro is durable, but it's not made to be drilled into hard ground at 30-40 mph. And no, those beginner planes aren't going to carry a Gopro around and still fly like they are supposed to. Actually, they barely fly like they should anyway, so the extra weight definitely wouldn't improve things. Like I said, a used Super Cub is the best chance you've got. Of course, you'll need radio gear and a lipo charger too. I suppose such a package may come up once in a while from someone who has lost interest in the hobby, but not often. But if you're hoping to make one of the low end "everything included" packages work, it's just not going to happen.

In the Beginners Forum, look here.. Prop Chart and Basic Electric Setup Sticky Read down a bit and you will see a post that refers to the weight vs. power limits are for various types of flying. You can easily see that you do not have unlimited power with electric RC aircraft to do whatever you wish to do. Two things just cannot happen with electric.. under power.. won't fly, over power, won't fly very long. There is a window, but it is somewhat small and power requirements must pretty much the weight and flying style. You have some leeway, but not near enough to just mount anything you wish to mount on these aircraft.
