About R C Airplanes For Beginners – Faq
James asks…
What’s the best R/C toy airplane to buy if it’s your first time purchasing one?
I have always wanted to purchase one of those r/c toy airplanes. I heard that it can be an expensive hobbie to get into and that’s why it’s taken me this long to finally go ahead and buy one. But for a beginner I just want to know which one is the best one for a beginner. Also a low price would be helpful and where to buy. Thanks I hope I find one!!

Well I would have to say the Aero Ace RC plane would be best. It’s only $30 (or less) and will really give you a feel for RC planes and whether or not you want to continue into what can be the very expensive hobbie of RC planes. With this plane you can be up and running flying the plane in about half an hour, it’s made of a durable material that won’t break and won’t damage things it hits. Better yet, if you really enjoy the plane it is easily modified for better performance, just visit the websites below. The best part, of course, is the price which cannot be beat. I hope this helps and good luck with your new hobbie!

Is this the right R/C airplane for me?
Is this the right R/C airplane for me? I’ve been looking for a new R/C airplane. I’ve been flying a two channel plane for a few months now and I’m looking for a 3-4 channel upgrade. Is this plane right for me and are spares easy to find? If not could you please suggest one?
Many Thanks!
P.S. I’m still a beginner / intermediate lmao.

The transition to a 3/4 channel aircraft is easiest using a trainer model. My suggestion is the p-51 mustang PTS for hangar 9.

Remote Control Airplanes- Electric Engine Beginner?
A friend of mine and I are finally deciding to get a electric engine r/c plane. He’s had a plane that he’s been working on for years but we’ve decided to get a beginner plane thats not a gas engine. We don’t want to ruin something that has taken so long to build so we want to get some practice with something first.
Any suggestions of what models I should look for and what price range I am looking at. Thanks
