Look for a four channel trainer- there are some electric trainers on the market- both Hobbico and Horizon have a good selection, and they have product support to back up their product.

RE: First Plane
 

how about this plane for trainer?

RE: First Plane
 

Minis are way to small for trainers - Get a full size 40 high wing trainer as suggested eather gas or elec and when ya get to a 2nd plane you will go back to the ol standby trainer and still havea barral of fun with it- most that post about odd or tiny starter planes are eather experanced flyers that have flown those and think all new pilots can handel them and others dont know and just think that a small plane would be easy to fly of which they are not

Hi,

If you wish to go the EP route I would suggest a MUltiplex Easy Glider Pro if you want to learn ailerons or a Easy Star if you want to go three channel. Both are remarkably easy to fly and very easy to repair, (hot water gets the foam back in shape and the foam used will take CA, Epoxy or white glue). I've had students being able to do circuits in their first outing and solo in three or four sessions.

Cheers,

Colin

Thanks for answer guys.Actually I m looking small plain because I have no drive and because of that I need small plane.I m looking at maximum 150cm wingspan.</p>

RE: First Plane
 

That is a very light plane, wind will be a factor.

RE: First Plane
 

Whad do you suggest for me?I will fly in a baseball court or park.

RE: First Plane
 

Oh, ok than you want an actual park flyer,,go to tower and look over the GWS line, no ailerons, but I started with a pico stick at the local shoolyard myself...Rog

RE: First Plane
 

Actually I m thinking about fly to my school baseball court.I think there is enough for maximum 150-160cm wingspan.GWS   line very small.

RE: First Plane
 

id go with the gws slowstick, i fly mine in a small baseball field rather easily but you may need more room when starting off, a large baseball field with few obstrustions would be perfect. i tought myself how to fly on a slowstick, its doable, but its cheaper to go the club instructor route
what to buy?
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHCJ3&P=7 thats the gws slowstick
heres a motor that would work

i would use a 11x5apc prop to start with, you are going to have a TON of power so keep that throttle very low, the idea behind this motor is you have a huge prop that will pull you out of anything no matter how slow you are going, also the big prop provides a large amount of thrust instead of speed which will help keep the plane airborne when you are flying very very slow (a good thing when learning, more time to react and less damage if you crash)
also buy 3 motor shafts because you will bend them, if you dont congrats, but its worth the 5 bucks to have a replacement ready http://www.hobbycity.com/hobbycity/s...idProduct=6487



if you are interested i will list everything you need to get, just let me know, i dont want to waste 30 min if you arnt interested..

I'm sorry i forget to say my school baseball court same time soccer field.I mean approx. 110meters.I want little big plane for fly there.I just cant fly with np but i think i can fly my college soccer field with ep trainer.I think i cant improve myself with gws.

RE: First Plane
 

I typed zip code 10522 in the search box of the AMA club locator.
http://www.modelaircraft.org/clubsearch.aspx
There are 25 flying clubs within 25 miles and 7 within 10 miles. Some of the flying site descriptions say only electric models are allowed.
So, local hands on help should be available. Most clubs have volunteer instructors who will teach you how to fly.

My suggestion, do not buy anything until you have talked to one or more local instructors. It will be easier, and probably cheaper, to learn with an instructor.

Also, if you email a club and do not get a reply, pick up the phone and call the contact number. Some of our members check email less than once a month but nearly always answer the phone.

Thanks for your reply.Actually i m international student in united states and because of that I dont know very well english.it can be hard for communication:).Your link required membership for meeting.</p>

RE: First Plane
 

Attached is a picture wth some of the results. Any AMA chartered club will require AMA membership and you will have to join the club. AMA costs 58 or 59 per year but has a 3 month membership for about 20. Our club dues are 40 per year. Some are less, some are much more.

RE: First Plane
 

Thank you for reply.I will try to contact their club.
