Hi Amit... Welcome to RC India  :)

Good to see your excitement in getting into this hobby  :thumbsup: But you have to realize that like anything in life, RC is also a fairly vast field, and your request is very generic, which makes it impossible to respond properly.  It is like asking "I need to know everything about cars".  Obviously this type of knowledge is something to be built up gradually, mostly by your own efforts in searching and reading up.

Please see this thread : http://www.rcindia.org/beginners-zone/making-my-first-spad-plane-step-by-step/ , and read through the "Rc India Gems" list of beginner related topics.  Also, search this forum (and Google) for anything you want to get information on. If you are confused about any topic even after reading from various sources/threads, please feel free to ask SPECIFIC questions here.

You will get much better response when you questions are specific, and when people on this forum feel that you have put in a basic effort towards seeking out the information yourself. 

Once again, we look forward to videos of your plane taking off  :)

Hi Amit
welcome.
Im also a newbie.i have selected small electric planes to begin with.so u also must decide with what u want to start like planes or helis.
U will get all info if u search here n in the net.
I suggest u download FMS n plug in a usb gamepad to get some feeling about flying a model.its a freeware.u can also get other sims n use your radio set.
Im enjoying FMS for now till i get all the required parts.
Regards .
