- The Super Cub is probably the best choice in my opinion. Which really means little as I've only been flying for 3 months. I flew electrics about 15 years ago. (or least tried) As a beginner and weight being such a factor I had little success. Unless you're completely bored and need something to do in the winter, I don't know why you would waste time building a plane. I did use a computer simulator since my flight attempts 15 years ago, so I felt I was able to fly succesfully. Start with a 3-channel trainer... period... then move to a four channel. I have only been flying for short time, but have 4 planes and one heli. I still fly the super cub as it is easy and fun. However, once you get started with that try eflite apprentice. what a difference.

- My 15 year old son has been driving me crazy wanting a new rc plane, and information is hard to find on where to begin. If you go to a dealer they want to sell you a $500.00 plane, which will just end up crashing until it is broken. Thank you for your information, I think it will save a lot of people money and heartaches.

- Hey guys,
Being a first time pilot, I think I understand how frustrating the process of finding a model could be. The information here is great with various planes to choose from. I do think it can be a bit much for the first timer, seeing all this information at once; there are a lot of planes to choose from. Consider this though, each person is different in terms of comfort level and may or may not be able to handle some of the models you have suggested. for example, as suggested by selfishGene, the Firebird Phantom may be a bit too powerful for the newbie. with that said, I wish I had this info when I first started off. If you can include with the articles, some model control issues that would be great too. Check it out at my Electric rc planes blog.

- WebsterPhreaky: thank you for giving your honest opinion. You are correct that this lens has become too commercial. You are also correct about some of the planes. There are some planes that would be great for a beginner, but where left out for a specific reason. They had to be built first. All the planes on this lens come pre-assembled. As I stated earlier in another comment this lens will be going through a major overhaul ad I hope to have it done within the next few weeks. I have just been too busy lately and unfortunately people like you looking for information on what sort of planes would be good for beginners have not received all the information they should have.
I hope you and anyone else visiting this lens will come back and look for the changes that are going to take place. I hope you will find them much more informational and useful, and much less commercial. Thank you again for your comments.

- I think this whole article is more of a COMMERCIAL for these stores and the planes they want to sell, than an honest recommendation of what a beginner should by. The whole piece smells of paid endorsements. Too many of these planes are known garbage and other planes know to be great begginer planes are omitted.
Readers, take these recommendations with a grain of salt.

- The Super Cub is, in my opinion, one of the most stable, easy-to-fly, RTFs on the market. I fly it (almost daily now) in a small park near my house. I have flown it in winds over 10mph (a number of times) and it handles it with ease. I still consider myself a beginner, but I hope to move up in the RC world at some point. However, I LOVE this plane. I'm so glad I started with this one. I have a number of Super Cub videos on youtube as well. Type in mreae in the search and you'll be able to see my Super Cub videos.

- SelfishGene- thanks for your comment. I personally have not flown the phantom and assumed that wiuth its smaller engine it would fly slower. I also appreciate your feedback about not being able to reuse the electronics. Yes that is a big downside. There are other planes on this lens I am not too happy with at the moment either and hopefully soon will be making some major changes to this lens. It needs it. The easy star is a great plane and I hope I can add it in with my updates. I have seen it out of stop for a while now, and only on one other site but they were asking way too much for it. Again thank you for your feedback and keep coming back to check for updates.

- I am very surprised to see the Firebird Phantom mentioned as the best beginner plane. It is too fast for a beginner. We had one and regret not looking around before we bought it. It is prone to "boom" breaks close to the V-tail and this cannot be repaired. Also the Phantom electronics cannot be reused - so when the boom breaks you cannot reuse anything. Look for the EasyStar. Much slower and easier to fly and has reusable electronics.
