New To Flying?

It seems everyone wants to fly a Spitfire. It's true, most of us do but we have to be honest with our customers when we're asked if they are a good model to learn with. Sadly, the answer is NO!
New fliers are advised to fly a high - wing, trainer aircraft as their first model, be it either electric or nitro.
A Trainer aircraft offers the pilot inherent stability due to the configuration of the high wing where the centre of gravity is BELOW the wing. Capable of mild aerobatics, is not the purely for the beginner. Indeed, some RC model fliers stick with the high-winged models due to their forgiving and enjoyable flight characteristics.
Park fliers are a great place to start. 2, 3 and 4 channel versions are available. 2 Channelled park fliers give the flier control over power and left and right direction. Reduce the power and the model will descend.
3 Channel models give you additional control in that the extra channel allows you to control elevator (nose up, nose down). The 4 channel models give you total control with power, elevator, aileron and rudder.
Our most popular beginners aircraft is the Art-Tech Cessna which is a 4 Channel ready to fly model complete with radio, batteries and charger. All this for under £100 !!

Once you have perfected and are comfortable with all aspects of high-wing aircraft flying, you might consider a mid or low winged model. This is where the world becomes your oyster with regards to choice. Usually, more agile, faster and aerobatic but less forgiving, the low-winged models include everyone's favourite....the Spitfire. Most of the popular 'warbirds' are available as models as well as their aerobatic counterparts like the Edge, Pitts Special etc.
