what is the best RTF electric plane for a
totaly new person
since i'v been using G3 and i found that
i can control the plane with ease so i wanted to get a real one

You should take a good look at the Hobbyzone Super Cub RTF package. It's just about ideal for the first-time R/C pilot.

is there any 4ch teach your self RTF planes

Hi

no.

Flying on a simulator is a great aid to learning to fly. The actual way the plane is controlled is very realistic. but there are many other things that the simulator won't teach you such as keeping the plane close enouph to be able to control and see it, keeping within a safe flying area, wind can be simulated but not particuarly realistically,

Take off and landings in reality are not as easy as on the simulator And when you crash it you can't just take off again

Although learning yourself can be done it is unlikey witha 4 channel plane.

To have any chance you need a 3 channel that more or less flies itself and it to be in trim.

I recomend you find an instructor to teach you.

Hi, if you are looking for a teach yourself type of aiplane, then I would recomend the T-Hawk from [link]http://www.readytoflyfun.com[/link]. This plane really taught me a lot and 5 years later, it is still flying. But I still agree with everyone else here, the best way to learn is with an instructor on a "real" 4ch airplane. The Sig LT-40 and Tower Trainer 40 are both great planes to learn on, there are tons of other good ones too.
Have fun, and good luck!

LT-40

I second the Super cub. It was my first plane ever. I never used a sim, and i self-taught myself to fly with this plane. Its very graceful and fun, and relatively cheap.

If you need more info, PM me. I would be glad to help

ok so i guess the super cub is the way to go?

If your using G3 and are looking to get into the real thing with an electric RTF why not get an Electristar? You can also get the free upgrade to F3.5 and practice at home.

If you want something with ailerons, you could also look at the Begin-Air from Park Flyers R/C:

The Hobbyzone Super Cub RTF package is more widely distributed. You should be able to find the Super Cub RTF at your local hobby store, and they will normally have spare parts like propellers, wings, tail assemblies, and extra batteries as well:

If you decide on the Begin-Air instead, you'll have to mail-order spare parts. Waiting a week or two for that new tail assembly that you need can prove frustrating during nice spring or summer weather when you're dying to be out flying but you can't.

what can you di with a 4ch, 3ch,2ch,6ch

Have you looked over the input from new RC flyers in this forum yet? You will probably see as many requests for help as there are replies saying that you should get an instructor no matter what you plan on flying. I won't labor on the subject, but please.. read the input from other beginners and take heed. You will save a lot of time, frustration, and money by finding a club with an instructor to help you out. That person can, and probably will, make recommendations as to what you should get to fly be-it fuel or electric.

My first plane was this. http://www.hobby-lobby.com/wingdragon.htm


It flew so well, one other fellow from my Club bought one because he wanted to get back in the Hobby and he didn't want to mess with Glow. Hmm maybe I can change his mind... he hasn't flown since the early 70's. Glow has advanced way beyond the spring starters.[sm=lol.gif] I flew my Wing Dragon over 200 hours and burnt out two motors.

I wound up putting my own Hi-tech equipment in the plane, and I even got better performance out of the bird. I didn't like the stickers, so I painted it with Acrylic Paint and I cut out the Windshield and used tiny screws to attach a piece of Clear Soda Pop Bottle in it, making it look like a Ultra light.

The RTF Plane comes with a CD and written instruction. I flew my Wing Dragon for two months and my Club sold me my first Glow, a Goldberg O.S. 40 Eagle. I had a radio failure in the fall and I no longer have her. RIP, she flew for over 16 years. []

The Wing Dragona and the Parkflyers.com "Begin-Air" are basically the same exact aircraft and I highly recommend it only as a 4ch aileron trainer. If you feel as though your skills are up to par this would be a great aircraft. If not i also recommend the Hobbyzone J3 Cub. My cousin learned on this aircraft and is a great beginners aircraft.
