Hello there,
I am new to the world of RC planes and am looking for some guidance on choosing my first model. I have always been fascinated by model flying, but I have never taken the plunge into actually flying one myself. Now that I have some free time and a bit of a budget, I am excited to get started.
I am a complete beginner. I have never flown an RC plane before; though I have some basic knowledge from reading and watching videos.
I live in a rural area with plenty of open space; so finding a place to fly should not be an issue. The weather here is generally calm; with mild winds.
I am particularly interested in scale models of real aircraft, especially WWII fighters. Although; I understand that these might not be the best choice for beginners.
My budget is around £200-£300 for the entire setup; including the plane; transmitter; and any necessary accessories.
Given these factors; could you recommend a beginner friendly RC plane that is relatively easy to fly and doesn't require a steep learning curve? I am looking for something durable that can withstand a few beginner mistakes.
Also, I have gone through this post; https://forums.modelflying.co.uk/index.php?/topic/51796-help-and-advice-for-a-complete-blue-prism-to-rc-glider-building-and-flying/page/4/
Lastly; if there are any specific beginner mistakes I should avoid or tips on setting up my first plane.
Thanks in advance for your help and assistance.
