[First aircraft]

I have looked at the suggestions and I see they are pushers rather than pullers.

 

Does this make the handling any different?

Hi 

Although not new to RC (I used to build and operate model boats on 27Mhz) I have become interested in RC Aircraft following a Christmas present of a drone a few years ago (not flown much because when I aren't working it is either too dark or too windy!!

 

I subscribe to RCME and read from cover to cover and am beginning to understand some of the terms used but I have a few questions which I would like to get my head around. I am intending to go electric power.

 

1) I understand that the best plane to use as a Trainer is a high wing - but what size?

2) Is it better to learn with single engine or is it just as easy with twin

3 (the big question) WHY

 

I have seen the XFLY P68 and wondered if that would be a suitable starter plane?

 

Thanks in advance

Dave

I have received my latest copy of RCM&E today and whilst I normally devour your august journal from cover to cover, this month I feel your maths skills may be lacking in the accuracy department. When I went to school, which I admit was a long time ago, one £200 pound prize plus 4 x £50 makes a total of £400 not the £450 you advertised for taking part in the survey.

Many thanks for that - it all makes sense now.

I will have a look at the link

Good afternoon from a newbie - not new to modelling but new to RC aircraft.

I see motors advertised as ****kv - as an electrician I know it can't mean kilovolts but what does the *kv rating mean.

Also I see batteries listed with various S* ratings - again what does this mean.

TIA
