BEGINNERS
The thing to remember the most when beginning is to walk before you run. Everyone has their dream airplane or helicopter they would like to fly. Unfortunately this is usually not the best plane or heli to begin with because of its flight characteristics, cost or build time. You don't want your first flight to ruin your modeling experience by crashing an expensive plane or heli that you spent a lot of time constructing.
The best advice we can give is to start with a trainer airplane or heli and seek help from someone who has experience flying RC aircraft. Feel free to contact River City RC for assistance we may be able to put you in contact with someone who can help you get started. Joining your local RC club would also be a great way to learn and accumulate the knowledge you need to be successful. That said if you do decide to become an RC pilot you are in for a terrific time with a great group of people.
The products available to you are extensive and will give you many years of enjoyment. You can fly planes/helis that are Ready To Fly "RTF", Almost Ready to Fly "ARF", Kits that you have to build from laser cut parts or build from scratch using drawings.
