| TRAINER AIRPLANES |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| What you will find is there are a lot of different trainers on the market today. All will serve you well. We have flown all the planes listed and are suggesting them because of the success we have seen. When it comes right down to it, you will probably buy the plane that appeals to you the most. Remember we will be there to help you with a buddy box system to assist in your learning. Find a plane that you like and purchase it. There are links on the about page to seek out purchasing. |

| BEGINNER HELICOPTERS |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Helicopters are no different than airplanes in that there are a lot to chose from. People ask which should I start with, planes or heli's? I really don't think it matters. If heli's appeal to you than buy one and start learning. For cost awareness we will only suggest the .30 size glow powered heli's as well as a couple of electrics that are awesome. There is help available for set-up and maiden flights. Know that learning to fly heli's comes down to you spending a lot of time on the sticks and maybe some spare parts as well. Use the links on the about page to find prices and availability. |

| RADIO UPGRADES |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| If you start with a basic trainer airplane but would like to have a better radio, there are a few better choices. Also if you are starting with a heli you may want a little better equipment to begin with. The question that you have to ask yourself is, how much do I spend and what would you like to do with the hobby down the road. |

| FLIGHT LINE EQUIPMENT |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| No matter what you decide to fly you will need basic flight line equipment for fueling and starting you engines. Or if you go electric power you will need a good charger that operates on 12v for recharging at the field. Again there are lots of choices from buying individual pieces to a complete set-up in a box. |
