RC Planes for Beginners

RC Planes for Beginners

RC flying is a great past time and can get the family together for a day out at the field. Choosing the right airplane for a beginner is easy and then just hit the skies! Choose a beginning model RC plane is not that hard to fly and make sure you get one that will not discourage the flyer from the start; Many models are easier to fly that others and let me suggest a few beginners for you.

The Nitro Model Super Trainer is a great choice. Made with balsa wood and light ply material, the bigger Super Trainer 60 offers a whopping 70-inch wingspan, making it easier to see, easier to control, thus easier to fly. This will provide you with easier and wider range of flight characteristics that will give you more time to correct mistakes if something goes wrong. If you get a non painted model you should paint it with a color that will stand out against the blue or cloudy skies for ease of seeing.

Some people paint beginners wings different colors on the bottom to help with direction, coming to you or going away. Like green and red lights on a real airplane. One you get flying better you can move on to faster and higher performance RC aircraft models. If you want a low wing aircraft try the Super Aerobatic Trainer for much the same beginner characteristics. Both will provide ease of use, ease of building and years of enjoyment.

These are also great models for kids as they are inexpensive and have an flashy style and paint, much like my son's first one. The Trainer Kit will be an easy model to build in just under an hour for under 0.00. It will also be an easy model for repair with basic materials and you're ready for the skies once again. When I started out there was many times I had to do repairs but that was the fun of it also.

You can also get kits that are from scratch if you like and spend hours constructing a model, maybe better left for the second or third plane. Sometimes it helps knowing how things are put together so when you have to do repairs it's easier, but for beginners I suggest the kit. Either way you'll need basic tools and some minor balsa, surface skins, glue, etc to start. You'll also need a radio control and servos; I suggest a 4 channel and 5 servos set up for the beginning RC plane pilot. This lets you control all the aspects of flight that are necessary to keep you in the air and will not confuse you as you learn the basic flight controls.
