Can anyone help me find a good starter plane? Im looking to spend about 250.00 on a nice beginner plane. I have neer flown a plane before but id like to learn how. Always thought it would be nice to have in the fleet. I have played flight simulator before so i kinda know the controls and what not. A guy at work has a nice nitro plane for sale for 200.00. Its a cessna and its only been flown once. Never broke or anything. Would this be a good choice? Should i start with nitro or electric? I am a nitro guy and i think it would be nice to have. I just need a little guidance. Any help would be greatly apreciated

A friend and I began flying September of last year, I bought a hobico nexstar mini and he bought a eflite apprentice. I think both are pretty good but the apprentice is much more forgiving. with those planes and the help of simulators we now fly P51 and T-28 war birds. I personally would get the apprentice to start out with but I have now become more of a helicopter guy so maybe some one with more plane experience would give you better advice.

Thanks man i apreciate it. I plan to look into it a little more. I really want to learn how to fly. It looks like a challenge and i always wanted to get one someday. A guy at my work has what i believe is a nexstar and he claims its a cessna and it has been flown a few times not much. It comes with the field box and starter, fuel pump and all for 250.00 is this a good deal?

If your looking for a good starter plane the plane that I can recommend is the "Mini Cessna - Brushless 2.4GHz RTF SKU: KMNCE01-1". The "Mini Cessna - Brushless 2.4GHz RTF SKU: KMNCE01-1" is a very good plane it can tolerate beginners and it's very easy to fly. I should say that my first flight on the Mini Cessna was a success thanks to it's simple controls. It is cheaper compared to other planes, it only costs approx. € 84,98 and it's very easy to fix if it get's broken.


Regards.

Hawk RTF from GT is a 4 channel trainer. It is a complete package including battery, charger and a 2.4G transmitter with LCD display. It is suitable for beginners, but has plenty to offer the experienced pilots as well.

My first plane was the Eflite Apprentice. It's a great foam trainer with a 4 foot wing span.

You should join a ama club and definitely get a simulator, preferably real flight since it has that model in it.
