would this plane be a good beginner?

@rc18trocks Hmm, not especially, for a couple of reasons - the setup you get from HobbyKing is a bit heavy, which means it has rather high wing loading so it needs to fly a bit fast; also the motor breaks easily in a head-on crash.
On the other hand I have another one of these with the guts of a Parkzone UM P51 inside (AR6400 1-cell setup) and that it light, slow and much more robust and forgiving in a crash. So that 1-cell setup would be okay for a learner.

@bluefisherking what would you recommend? (something generally cheap but not like toy r us cheap :P it can be from hobby shop or HK)

@rc18trocks Well if you are looking for something in this size, then the Ultra Micros from Parkzone are a good place to start, especially as there are some great deals at the moment. For beginners the natural ones to try would be the Ember II or the UM J3 Cub. Both are light, 1-cell, three channel planes weighing 30-40g. They come completely built (unlike the Nataku) including receiver. You just need a transmitter, and you can pick up PKZ one from the RTF package for about £10 on eBay.

@bluefisherking i have a 2.4 ghz spectrum transmitter and reciever. how about the radian glider?
rc18trocks 9 months ago
@rc18trocks I haven't flown the Radian, but it is a very nice plane with many devotees. BTW, people are often surprised to find that gliders fly quite fast - certainly faster than a normal high-wing slow trainer. However, the Radian also has predictable, stable handling which counts for a lot, so I am sure you could do just fine, just give yourself plenty of space in which to practice landing!
