ok so im new to this hobby of rc flying......i just got into it a week ago. So I wanted an rc plane to see wut it wuz like to fly one of those things. I went to toys r us, u kno, just to get a real cheap one. If i liked flying it id get a more expensive one. So i took the 50 doller, styrofoam plane to the park and it flied terribly. I wuznt sure if it wuz me or the plane. But there wuz no wind at all, and the plane wuz real wobbily. The actual name for the plane wuz the airhog dominator. When i launched the plane, it would go 50 feet high, then stall, then drop down to 3 feet over the ground and stay at that level for at the most 10 seconds. So i wuz thinking of getting a more expensive one that wuznt styrofoam and would stay up higher in the air, like a lot higher then 3 feet, and would be easy to control for a begginer. But i dont want to get one that will break the first time i buy it. Do u guys hav any suggestions of planes a begginer would like thats easy to control and stays high in the air?

find yourself a good hobby shop and tell them what you said here and they should be able to help you. The adage, you get what you pay for is what happened to you.

Getting into this hobby involves risk but what a thrill it is to take a bunch of parts and make it fly.

All RC Airplanes have the same end. It's a matter of when not if. If it isn't pilot error then it is a mechanical problem. So you have to be willing to take the risk to get the thrill.

The first thing you should do is find a club near you and talk to the members. They won't lead you astray. They will also provide an instructor to help you get in the air without mishap.

Keep us posted on your progress.
