Belgian seeks rc-advice
Hi,
I live in Belgium, Western Europe , and we simply don't have the cheaper rc-planes over here ... in fact , we virtually don't have ANY electric powered planes in this part if the world...
I've been reading the stuff you guys wrote and I would very much like to purchase one ....beginner style .... toy-like ....out of the box and in to the air, I'm not too handy ...Let's say about 50-100 dollars, because it 'll cost me a lot to get it shiped all the way over here. 2 channel wil suffise ...
I'd say the Firebird II would be my best choice .... You guys agree ?
Is the ST version newer ? why does it cost 5 dollar more ?
And finally, I need to find a trustworthy company who can sent it all the way over to Europe ....
Thanx for your replies !

Get a "real" plane you will enjoy it a lot more, do you have a club in your area? If you do defidently go with a 4 channel trainer plane, it will give you some great, GREAT times!

Dont try and start with a cheap electric - or any sort of electric. I tried to learn that way - eventually gave up and bought a whole glow engine setup.
Don't try it on your own - find a club and they will teach you.
Best of luck.
BTW I was through Brussels a few years ago and visited among other palces the Royal Belgian Aviation Museum. Great place
