Default Hobbyzone Super Cub RTF

I think the Hobbyzone Super Cub RTF in my opninion, is the best electric r/c beginner. Here are some pros and cons because i flew it.

Pros:

.Manuverable

.has gentle or thrilling flights

.The revolutionary ACT can be turned on or off with the flip of the switch on the transmitter.

.Great looking plane.

Cons:

.Plane has been known to lose throttle control on flights.

.Plane is sometimes unbalanced on flights as well.

Thats about it. it's a very-recommended beginner plane.

I was excited when I saw Hobbyzone was going to be marketing this plane. I was sold a Hobbyzone Aerobird Challenger by my LHS as a starter plane before I got into glow, and it didn't go well. This Super Cub RTF looks much better suited for teaching yourself how to fly!

If the Super Cub was a 4 channel, I might be inclined to agree with you. Since it is not I still think the "Begin Air" is probably the best electric parkflyer type plane for the beginner. I still believe that none of them are as beneficial as a traditional glow trainer & an instructor. Here is a link to the "Begin Air"
4 channel trainer. It's not much to look at, but it does have full 4 channel control which I think is important to a beginner. If you start out with these 2 & 3 channel models then you still need to learn to fly with ailerons on another plane. I think it's better to learn with ailerons rght from the start.

There is a Plane much similar to BeginAir and the same brand. The plane is the Park Flyer Cessna 182. It can be chosen either 3 Channel or 4 Channel. I think its a good 4 Channel Beginner as well.

A Cessna 182 does not have the inherent stability and self righting capability of a trainer like the BeginAir and therefore is not as good a beginner airplane. I am not saying you cannot learn to fly with the cessna, I am just saying it will be more difficult.
