If you are looking for a first RC plane, then I have a list of planes which are best suited to be your first ultra-micro RC plane.
\nNote that this list ONLY includes good first ULTRA MICRO planes. Planes bigger than ultra micros are not included in this list.<\/p>\n
1. Hobbyzone Champ: In the hobby, this great plane is highly regarded as the king of easy to fly ultra micros (my review<\/a>).<\/p>\n 2. Hobbyzone Duet: This is the plane that I started with after switching from helis to planes. A great plane, but with some issues like no real rudder (differential thrust, which means that, to accomplish a turn, the motor on one side speeds up and the other slows down) and being more sensitive to wind that the Champ in my opinion. (I don’t have a review… yet)<\/p>\n 3. Hobbyzone Sport Cub S: For newbies who want more of a challenge than the Champ\/Duet. It is definitely a great second plane, but a first time flyer could fly it. (my review<\/a>)<\/p>\n 4. UMX Radian BNF: This one is a powered glider that is slightly bigger and faster compared to the others listed. However, it is a fairly forgiving plane, and several people have reported learning to fly with this one. Probably one of the more challenging on this list. You do, however, need to purchase a transmitter separately. The DX6 and DX6i will both serve you well, as will any other transmitter from Spektrum. (my review<\/a>)<\/p>\n 5. Parkzone Night Vapor: this one’s very forgiving. You can learn to fly RC planes in your living room! The one drawback is that it’s more fragile than the other planes on this list. (I don’t have a review… yet)<\/p>\n All of the above planes come in RTF versions (include everything you need to fly in the box). The exception is the UMX Radian, which only comes in a BNF version. If you own a Spektrum transmitter, then t saves you a few bucks. If not, you’ll need to buy one with your Radian.<\/p>\n Don’t worry, Spektrum transmitters are a good investment. Just don’t buy the Spektrum DX4, DX4e, or DX5. They are MUCH more basic than the DX6i and above.<\/p>\n Also, the Hobbyzone Duet is the only plane that doesn’t<\/em> come in a BNF version.<\/p>\n I have flown (and own or have owned) all of these planes. I’ll have to post a review for the Duet and Night Vapor in the near future. I’ll update this post to include links to the Night Vapor and Duet reviews once they’re up.<\/p>\n Thanks for reading, and I’ll see you next Sunday!<\/p>\n Do you<\/strong> have another plane to add to this list? Post its name in a comment and include a brief disruption of it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you are looking for a first RC plane, then I have a list of planes which are best suited to be your first ultra-micro RC plane.
