You’re excited to fly your first plane; and why shouldn’t you be? It’s great fun and it gets you outside to enjoy the weather. One thing most people do when starting out, is eye off a difficult model to fly because it looks cool!

In some instances, a transmitter is supplied with most first models. These kits are especially designed for people getting into the hobby and can provide you with a cheap entry into the hobby. However, you may want to purchase your own transmitter.

The day has come! You have done the hard yards on the simulator (at least I hope you have) and you’re ready to take to the skies! The most important thing to remember is that you shouldn’t fly if you’re not ready or if the weather is not favourable.
