Awesome! That's a great plane. You'll be happy with it I'm sure. Good luck, and I hope you're flying soon.

I'm new too! I just started flying this Feb. I joined a club,and with a buddy box learned the basics..with help from club members and the hobby shop I chose a E-flite apprentice.This IS the best deal I could find. Everything for 289.00 plus tax.I have flown over 160 flights and quit counting...I crashed and repaired it [more than once]. I'm 64 years old and just getting started!! Your gonna love it..

You'll do fine! Just don't try to fly that suit of armor without enough power!

IneptCorpse, You're starting out pretty well, having found a good club and all. My first plane was the E-flite Apprentice, and I agree with Rawhide46 that's it's a good one. Taught myself to fly out at a big park, with multiple soccer fields, and also had the Phoenix simulator, and it all went great except for all those crashes. :-). The first flight was plenty sweaty, believe me.
I don't agree with the advice about 3-channel over 4 channel. The world is 4 channel, and might as well learn on that, rather than having to un-learn something when you move up to 4 channel. Airplanes have ailerons, rudders, elevators, so might as well learn with all those. Just my $ .02, of course. One guy I know is flying his 3-channel Super Cub LP and it seems to me he might as well be flying around the Apprentice. Much more fun, bigger, more capable, regular 4-channel, etc., etc. I know others disagree. But good luck with those planes you got. You'll have fun! |
