Here's a few pictures of my latest bird -- Hartmann's famous "Black Tulip" painted 109. I just the thing assembled this morning -- but it has been too windy to maiden. Maybe tomorrow will be a little calmer, and I'll be able to put it in the air. Everything but the transmitter came with this kit -- even the battery and charger -- a great deal. As you can see, Parkzone (manufacturer) really did their homework on this. The thing is heavy on the scale details -- right out of the box.

Looks great. Do you think it's possible to land it without the landing gear?

Hobbyzone Supercub should be your first plane. Accept no substitutes!

Look up a hobbystore near you, if they carry RC planes they will most likely know a good deal about them and can help you pick one. Even better, see if you have an RC club in your area, those guys have been doing it for years, and are the best people to get advice from.

I could not agree more! This is the plane I learned on -- my wife learned on, my dad, and three of my friends. I taught them to fly using the "Trainer" (linked radios), where I would just take over for them when they got into trouble. They really didn't need it -- this plane is so docile and predictable -- and wants to climb naturally. The first picture I've attached is the Super Cub -- pretty beat up looking -- but I've shown alot of people how to fly with it. The thing is practically indestructable. If you get one -- I would recommend disabling the safety device that is supposed to keep the plane level if you start to dive or fly erratically -- this actually makes the plane harder to fly (my 2 cents worth). This plane is about 7 or 8 years old, with over a hundred flights on it. It and the PZ FW190 (you might be able to see it in the second picture) are the only two planes I have that have brushed motors.
