GET STARTED WITH ELECTRIC RC AIRPLAN

GET STARTED WITH ELECTRIC RC AIRPLAN

bought cost $99.00. I haven't done much research, but I don't think you'll find one much cheaper than that. But it was $99.00 well spent. My first plane had a range of half a mile. Imagine being able to fly a plane a half a mile away from you. It also had a computer chip inside it that would level out the plane if it entered a steep dive preventing it from crashing. That's an excellent feature to have for beginners.

Never buy electric rc airplanes from a toy store. Always buy them from a hobby shop. If your local hobby shop doesn't carry them, they can also be bought online.

Ready to fly electric rc airplanes are a great choice to start out with. They call them ready to fly because they come with everything you need to get started: the plane, remote control, charger, and batteries. Another nice thing about them, is ready to fly electric rc airplanes only take about 5 minutes to put together.

Its best to start out with a two-channel plane. Electric rc airplanes come in three channels, two channel, three channel, and four channel. Three channel and four channel planes give you more control and you can perform acrobatic maneuvers with them like barrel rolls and loops, but there more difficult to fly. The are best left to more experienced flyers.

When you buy your first plane, you may want to consider getting a second battery pack. Flight times vary depending on the type of plane you buy, but usually the batteries only last about 12-18 minutes.

One more thing, always fly your plane in an open field. The reason is, while your learning to fly you will crash many many many times. It's not a question of if, but when. At least in an open field you don't have to worry about crashing into rooftops, tree branches, or into the pavement. Electric rc airplanes are designed to withstand crashes, but they can only take so much. This can be an expensive hobby when you don't fly in open fields. I find that soccer fields, football fields, schoolyards and even your local park make ideal flying places.
