starter plane
 

Hey guys, Im more of a heli guy myself and i dont know that much about planes. Im just starting to get good with my fp heli and my dad mentions that the would love to get into rc planes. His bday is this friday and i have a 100-190 dollar limit. What should i be looking for to get him started?

A good beginner plane in your budget would be the hobby zone super cub. A lot of people say it is fantastic to learn on. It is a foam plane with only 3 channels but it comes with everything you need to fly it in the box including the transmitter, battery, and battery charger. I think they sell for about $179. I dont know where in alabama you live but I am in the Birmingham area. There are two good hobby shops in the Birmingham area, one is in homewood and the other is in oak mountain. Or if you dont live near there, Im sure there is a hobby shop closer to you where the people that work will also be able to help you out.

Im up by Huntsville, there is a hobby shop here that carries the super cub. They recommended it and i just wanted a second opinion to be sure.

Huntsville has some nice hobby shops especially the RC hobby barn on merridian street. That is one of the best hobby shops Ive been to in Alabama.
