RE: Beggener here
It will be ok as long as you get help from an instructor 
I would go for a RTF like this one

It has all you need to use it.
Good Luck

RE: Beggener here
If your up for a kit (meaning you will have to spend at least a week of carefull and planned building), go for it. Other wise, i would recommend something Almost ready to fly meaning that all the major parts come pre built. Make sure you have an instructor and a club to go with that plane that you like. I had it, and believe me it is no fun flying that plane without proper instruction.

Here are a list of AMA chartered clubs in your area. I've included a link to the exact search on the AMA website where you can see all of the results. I've also included the clubs that are listed as being less than 20 miles from your zip code, which is 98511.

Hope this helps

RE: Beggener here
You were just informed that that is a good plane and the reviews say so. You can go ahead and fly that plane if you have an instructor to teach you how to fly. If you dont, i would recommend something like a GWS Slow Stick, or BEtter yet, one of the planes available at www.horizonhobby.com with the Anti-Crash feature. It sounds nice, whatever you choose go for it. And dont wait any longer because youll end up like me. Just asking whats a good plane and what is not, going round and round in a circle.

RE: Beggener here
AMA has an "intro pilot program" that not all clubs subscribe to. It is not a required thing but could be helpful. You can get more info in the program from the AMA site
www.modelaircraft.org but don't let them not having this particular program stop you. They will still have instructors available.

RE: Beggener here
Since you are incapable of looking this up as I suggested above, I shall spoon feed it to you.
Look at page 22 here.

I hope this isn't too much work.

RE: Beggener here
building a kit now days is more costly than arf's it seems hard to beat 5.00 a day china labor. although building a plane you fly has a certain amount of satisfaction in its self and you can select your own components for future projects

I'll tell you exactly who he is. He is a well respected member of this RC community of ours! You would do well to try & actually heed the advice offered to you in here, rather than ignore it & then get upset at being treated like the kid that you obviously are.
