First time buying/building RC

Hello,
I have experience with RC helis and cars. I also like RC planes but never had one ...
so i am thinking of buying / building a plane.
I want to build a P-51D Mustang ( http://www.rcbazaar.com/products/1044-p-51d-mustang-17-span.aspx )
What components are included in the box and what are the things that i need to buy Huh?

Also how does it fly Huh?

Is there any other model in the same price range, better than it ??

Would be building plane from scratch be better Huh?

Re: First time buying/building RC

Rohan, 'beginner' is the keyword for you mate......and P-51D mustang ain't a good choice for a first time rc pilot.....go for planes like easystar, blue baby, piper cub, cessna-180 etc, these are called trainer models.....google 'em

Re: First time buying/building RC

hey hey
I have experience with flying RC planes. I have flown many but they were not mine. I lack the experience of building one from the kit /scratch. All the planes that I had flown were my friend's and were already built.

Re: First time buying/building RC

Great, so you are an expert. I think P51 would be too easy for you

Go for something more advanced like this

Sanjay sir, don't be so.
Anyone who can build/fly a radio controlled 17 inch P51 is to be lauded.
Especially in Rs700.

Re: First time buying/building RC

It is not essential to have a trainer; depends on your flying skills, and how confident you are with them

It's always a good idea to build your own, but DO use a proven design the first time

Maybe you could select an intermediate model?

Good luck, and all the best!

Re: First time buying/building RC

Pylon Racers are designed for speed, speed and more speed Grin

Better to go with a sports model, where you could try the whole gamut of aerobatics, loops, rolls, and pattern flying.

I saw this on the site you suggested : http://mikeysrc.com/Sport-Trainer.html

You could always build the Pylon Racer as your next model Thumbs Up

Re: First time buying/building RC

Rudder is good for landings, and essential for advanced aerobatics
