My first planes were the airhogs with the lipo batteries. They were great to learn on-cheap,easily repairable and you could fly them off the snow or water or land. The next one we bought was the cessna you have pictured.My friend and I have been flying for three years and even though we've moved on to 3D planes we still fly the cessnas.They're probably the best to learn on. $120.00 gets you flying in 20 minutes.Just remember to turn ACT off. In my opinion it doesn't help and can even screw you up. The best way to learn is to have a friend who is more experienced help you.We have the same controllers that you can connect and use the "training mode" on. This way if my friend is crashing I can take control and save him.(which has happened more than once)

My very first plane was a J-3 Piper cheap version. $69.96 I believe. It was advertised that it was the best trainer and being a complete novice and not ever having flown a model plane before I figured it would be a good one to start with. I got it up in the air one time about 40 feet high and then I had a nose dive crash. Needless to say it tore my plane up good. I've been trying to get it back to flying condition but am having a hard time of it.
