I would say no because it is only a 3-channel with Rudder Stearing...

Go for a 4-channel with ailerons as well as rudder control...

I wouldn't recommend it if your a beginner. You are going to need something alot slower. Ask your local hobby shop for something that flys at walking speed if your just learning.

When you get a 3 channel plane to learn on it adds another step to the learning process and can take longer to get the feel for the 4 channel plane as you tend to get used to the rudder for turning you find later that in actuality to turn a 4 channel plane in the air is more of a combination of alerions and elevator. Of course rudder can be used but in your beginner stages you will be taught alerions and elvators. Now after you have learned what a 3 channel plane flys it may as well be like learing all over again. IMO.

how about thses

I really think you should get a simulator. FMS will teach you a lot and it is free! I have Real Flight G3 and I love it. You can also get AeroFlyPro or Reflex XTR.

im nto a fan of sims personaly......they are great for learning what different controll inputs do, but not the spacial perception....

A Sim will only be of use once you actually start getting stick time...

Otherwise you have nothing to compare with...

E.g. Your Brain will only know sim... Not reality... And trust me there is a


Difference...

Really good once you get going though...

Matt

The first question is whether you will have an instructor or not. If you have an instructor, then follow their recommendations.

As for 3 vs 4 channel. If you are going to try and learn on your own, in my opinion, the RTF three channel R/E/T electrics can be a very good starting point. You will find a lot of information on them in the Electric Aircraft section of the forum. This area tends to be more for glow powered pilots.

Whether you are using R/E to fly or A/E or A/R/E, you are still using the right stick to manage most of the flying. If it is a single stick radio, then it doesn't matter.

Good luck new pilot and welcome to RC flying!



The high wing, three channel, R/E electrics are wildly popular as first planes for people trying to learn on their own.

I never learned to fly on a sim just because they werent around when I started flying and that was only 12 years ago. The question remains would I have gotten a sim instead of a real plane to learn if I could go back and do it again. The answer NO. However I would of gotten the Sim along side of the real plane. I believe that the Sim is agreat learining tool and I have seen guys at our field who have bought one spent 2 months on it purchased an RTF trainner fron RCU and soloed in a day at our field. Now my issue becomes that this new piliot has no practical knowledge of saftey, crises, and or "pucker factor management" As I like to call it. So I do think there are distinct pros and cons but a sim IMO at any stage of learning is invaluable. I love them.

You have a puter so download the FMS sim. Its not fancy but if you can learn to take off, fly around, and land in one piece without sweating bullets then I would think that you might be able to handle a park flyer with out too many problems. For glow planes the sim is good for teaching how the the basic stick movements make the plane react. To actually start flying a glow trainer, find an RC club and get help. Training is free and your hobby shop that sells RC planes will be able to tell you where they are and provide contact phone numbers. [8D]
