Flying an electric RC plane is entertaining and educational and can be enjoyed by people of all age groups.
You are never too young or too old to fly and it does not have to be an expensive hobby at all.
Because there are so many model airplanes out there, deciding on your first remote control aircraft can be difficult.
Even those that are very similar in design will have different flight and handling characteristics and many models are not suitable for beginners.
First, you should pick a model that is slow and stable enough for you to learn on, such as a trainer or park flyer.
It can be based on a real airplane or be just a working model with wings and minimal skeletal structure.
You do not have to and probably should not start off with an expensive electric RC plane with multiple channels and complicated controls.
For learning to fly, stick with a basic model with 2 or 3 channels.
When you are ready to fly, pick a park or other wide open space.
You will need plenty of room, especially since this is your first time handling the plane.
You do not want to fly in a heavily populated area with buildings, power lines, telephone poles or other obstructions.
Check wind direction and how hard it is blowing before starting the engine.
Knowing which way the wind is blowing will help you prepare for any turbulence and if wind speed exceeds your plane's operating parameters, wait for a less windy day to fly.
