There are a few trainers that will do very nicely as plane to learn to fly with. I'd be inclined to get something larger rather than smaller. Wingtipper brought a Cessner not so long back and is pretty happy with, it I don't think it's the little skyrtec one tho'
I reckon you want something at least 45" preferably 50" span to learn to fly with. If it's too small it will be greatly affected by turbulance and difficult to fly in anything but dead calm conditions and will hold you back from really getting stuck into some good fun flying.
I would also think about the kind of radio that you buy. You'll be better off to spend a few extra dollers here and get something like a DX6i or equivelent, rather than a real cheapy, Remember it's safe to spend a bit more on a TX 'cause it's the bit that stays on the ground
It's a good idea to get one with a buddy port that is compatible with spectrum or JR, that will make it much easier to learn to fly as you can buddy up with an experianced flyer who can take over at an instant to save your plane, That way you can gain some flying experiance with out the fear of busting up your nice new machine.What mode do you fly ??? I would suggest that mode 1 is better but that's just my opinion, ( might be sticking my neck out here
) Tho' there are probably more people to give you a hand if you fly mode 1. There's plenty of answers to most questions here on the forum if you take the time to look about...........happy browsing
Hope to see you down the field in the near future
