Hey all.
I am a 15 year old guy who wants to try and get into model airplanes..
I Have about $200 but will be prepared to pay more if need be. The only thing i want is a kit that contains the aircraft and EVERYTHING that is necessary to fly.
Please put up web pages and names of models to look at.
Thanks Jon

You might want to do a simplified profile model first and get an idea of the shape characteristics and flight characteristics – I’m sure that given such a relatively short wingspan, she’s going to be fast!!
Good Luck!!
