Cessna 182 & Begin Air
I would like any comments on anyone who has flown the C 182 and the
Begin Air from Parkflyers.com. Are they good beginners planes? |
RE: Cessna 182 & Begin Air
I have not flown them.
The BeginAir is an aileron trainer. If you have an instructor it could be a good plane start, but I would not recommend it for someone trying to learn on their own. The Cesna is rated as an intermediate to advanced pilot plane by the manufacturer. BeginAir - RTF or Receiver ready RTF - $180 Receiver Ready - $110 http://www.parkflyers.com/html/begin-air.html Review http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/a...article_id=443 video http://67.18.81.100/rcuvideos/magazi...3/BeginAir.wmv Cesna 182 - 4 Channel RTF - $180 http://www.ewebcart.com/cgi-bin/cart...=1&item_id=144 Includes 72 mhz radio and wall charger. Sku# 4303 $179.99 4 Channel with 72 Mhz Radio (Intermediate Level Recommended) Video http://www.parkflyers.com/html/cessna_long_movie.html I don't recommend pretty planes as first planes. They are too easy to break, too hard to fix and look bad in short order. So you won't see any especially pretty or true scale planes. Make one of those your second or third plane. I also don't recommend two channel R/T electrics, so you won't find any on the list. If you want one of these, I would suggest the Firebird series from HobbyZone. They can be very easy to fly and can be a lot of fun, but they can also be very easy to lose. You should plan to fly them in dead calm air when you are first starting. I feel a high wing three channel R/E/T plane is your best choice for a first plane. R/E/T will require a little more learning than the two channel R/E planes but is a better choice as a first plane, in my opinion. These use the same control inputs as more advanced planes and can be flown in more wind once you have mastered them in calm conditions.
