SSSSHHH!! .......nope Can't hear it either.

Tell us a little more about your flying experience. That way we have a little more to go on for an opinion.

If its your first plane to learn on it may be a little fragile imho

It's definitely a silent plane, the kind that never show up. Bananahobby has been talked about widely in these forums, and I have not heard anything good about them. Lots of people talk about how they either never get the plane they ordered and never get a refund, or they get it and something breaks immediately and banana won't warranty anything. I would shop around for something else and steer clear of bananahobby if I were you. If you're looking for a good beginner plane try checking out this thread. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4537845/tm.htm

There Ken, now you don't have to do it.[sm=thumbs_up.gif]

Thank you for the info, since I'm from the UK I tried looking up that ARC Ready 2 plane but couldn't find it anywhere. Can you recommend a good plane for a beginner around the &pound;100 mark in the UK, preferablly lower ?

<font size="4">Well it wouldn,t be my first choice for a plane ,get something like an AT40 its a high wing trainer and get some help from someone who has a buddy cord system and some experience ,look up internet for a club near you ,theres usually no charge to teach you what to do and how to fly </font>

Jabbran:

I have found this experienced RCU member that lives in your area:

http://www.rcuniverse.com/community/...e&memid=191035

Send him an e-mail.
He may be able to help you.

It seems that you prefer electrics over fuel.
Next, you need to decide the size of models you would like to fly.

The model that you mention does not seem to be proper for a start up.

Like Davo said... Get an instructor for some help.

That will be one of your first choices for success in the hobby.

+1 on seeing an instructor first. Don't buy anything until you've met with an instructor. Many clubs have trainers for students to use, and sometimes members have trainer setups for sale that will get you into a much nicer plane for less money.
