I don't know if I'm going to fly this summer, but I almost bought the hanger9 P-51 mustang, Is this a good starter plain? I have a nitro boat, truck and car so way not a plain.

no its not a starter plane, start with a high wing trainer 40 or 60 size. then once you mastered that like you mastered your cars and boats, then get it. you'll be a one flight wonder if you get it.

If its not the PTS.I want to know what you are going to use to power it maybe a G-26 or G38. So when the plane lives about 20 sec. i can buy it from you

You've opened a bucket of worms here. First I'm going to assume that you mean the PTS P-51, any other P-51 would be insane as a trainer. I personally don't really care for the PTS as a first plane but OK for a second plane. But you will also hear from others that say it's OK. I also believe that it has structural problems, especially in the landing gear mounts.
I would rather see you begin with a 40 or 60 size high wing trainer type and I don't mean a Cub or Decathlon either. I mean a TRAINER. Crawl before you walk for at least a day or two.

Also be sure to get the help of an instructor because there is one serious difference between a plane and the other vehicles you have. If something goes wrong, you can't just cut power and sit while you figure out what to do. If you do, WE call that a crash.

You can pretty much count on anything that looks really cool like it's going fast just sitting on it's landing gear as a bad idea. Most war bird aircraft fit this catagory. Remember, unlike your other projects, if things get out of control you can't just cut the throttle, walk over and and pick it up. Go with the trainer style aircraft. If you want to plan for a P-51 buy a trainer that uses the same size engine and radio. That'll save you some money later if you already have most of the expensive parts.

I did see an electric plain for $200 or so ready to fly, is this a better choice for the first time.
The plain I was looking at was the P-51D 150 ARF, I guess I should stay away from the dual ace 46 Twin ARF, but realy is it that hard to fly a duel engine over a single. the guy at the hobbie shop said don't even think it untill you get a year or two of flying.

Even with a year or two of flying a twin can be difficult to fly. Even well behaved twins can be a handful for an experienced pilot when an engine goes out. Also on the "no-no" list is the P-51D 150 ARF that you mentioned. This IS NOT a beginner's plane. If you try to fly on either of these planes make sure you bring along a couple of hefty bags to take them home in. I know that may sound a bit harsh, but that is the cold hard reality of the situation. These planes are not planes for a beginner to be messing with.

Thanks for the tip, what is a cheap plain to start out with that's ready to fly. Don't want to wast time building when I'm only going to crash. I guess that is just what happens with rc flight. I was on you tube an saw a RC jet crash, the guy said there goes 10G's

Learning to fly doesn't mean you are going to crash. Find an instructor and your odds are pretty good that you will learn to fly safely and without crashing your plane.

Take a look there, that will explain a lot.

Im sure comerford2 must be talking about Hangar 9's P51 Mustang PTS (Progressive Trainer System) yes, it says its trainer, with Naca Droops at the edge of wings, down flaps, and airbrakes on landing gears, but its still not an easy plane. As it was said, go for high wing plane 40 to 60 size with an instructor. Naturally simulator gives a fair good idea about taking off, landing as well as how to control a plane while its in the air. Hangar 9 also offering a combo of high wing Alpha 40 and Alpha 60, I think these high wingers are best choice.

Have a safe flying

for a beginner i would look at the big stik 60 with a super tiger 75. it is the perfect training and second airplane. just tame it down to low rates. i did my solo with mine. dont worry about that extra power you dont have to use it until later. for starting you should be with an instuctor. he will get you up then let you fly around. you wont need to use throttle in the beginning. this plane will cost a little more than your average trainer but i promise you will like it better then any of those ugly tainers. if you are thinking of buying a nexstar dont. i owned 1 .it is not as easy to fly as the big stik. it is underpowered also. if you really want to learn to fly get the big stik 60. it is so forgiving and very fun to fly. the price for the plane is 149.99 the motor is supertiger 75 109.99 the radio jr 6 channel or 7 channel you decide. 249.99. buy some field equipment maybe another 100.00 and for around 600.00 you will have a real flying machine. if you buy one of those 40 size trainers you still will pay 400.00 and you will get tired of it quick. go mthe extra distance you wont be disapointed. pat.... pasdena maryland
