Hi,
I am from india and am passionate of rc planes but never had a chance to fly..Recently i have purchased this product [link=http://195183.pub.diysite.com/sc.deliver/main/0-4-5/4/0-pr-2-468435.html?siteid=195183]check the model here[/link] recently.. To be frank i even don't know wether it fly or not but purchased just of my passion..I tried to fly it as per instructions in manual but it doesn't fly and getting crashed.. Its a dual motor one and 2 channel radio the wings are made of thermocol and the main head is made of plastic..Remote is of 40mhz...I am in really need of instructions for flying..Manufacturer stated that it should be launched by hand after switching on the fans..But it doesn't fly at all..more over three propellers are broken..I am even willing to buy a good relaible rc plane which has the take off and landing facilities unlike this product (which needs to thrown by hands)..Also i would like the body is made up of wooden or something similar which can handle crashes..So if anyone could help me out in this matter (both to guide how to fly this present product and also who can sell a product which i stated in here) Waiting for help...

Onemore thing i will buy even a small plane but it should fly easily and should have take off, landing, rotating, easy to handle the speed, should atleast fly 500feet..I live in India so probably seller has to ship it to my home address..

Thank you,
M.vinod kuumarr

If the propellers are broken, it will not fly. You must get new propellers

Mike,
I think he was saying he's broken and replaced 3 props.

M. Vinod,
Many of the inexpensive "RC planes" will not fly, or fly but very poorly. The way we usually recommend that someone get started with RC is to buy a .40 size trainer and to get an instructor to teach them to fly. None of these planes is easy to fly, and crashes WILL happen. Planes made of Balsa (very light wood) will be badly damaged when you crash, so I would not recommend them to you, UNLESS you can find someone with experience to help you.

To start with a 40 size trainer usually costs about $450 to $500 American Dollars.

There are other small electric planes that would (do) fly better than the one you linked to, but I don't know if they would be available in India. The best one that I'm aware of is called the Aerobird Commander and sells for about $150. http://www.hangar14.com/product.asp?...epartmentID=10 With this link you can at least see the plane, but I don't know about international shipping.

Hopefully, someone from India, or someone who knows more, will read this and give you more help.

Good luck, and welcome to RCU!
