I am a beginner in RC aircrafts. Is it suitable for me to buy a T-34 Mentor EP as my first plane?

Check out the plane at http://www.skyhobbies.com.sg/electric_models_BEGINNERS.htm





NOTE: I have mastered my FMS with a trainer RC simulator. I have some problems at my landings due to over-flaring of the plane and therefore causing the back of the plane to strike the ground before the main landing gear. I am going to buy the plane in this November.I am a beginner in RC aircrafts. Is it suitable for me to buy a T-34 Mentor EP as my first plane?
Actually, NO.





Your first 'real' plane should be a high wing trainer.


They are slower, MUCH more stable, and ALSO CHEAPER!!





Flying a simulator is good practice, but the real plane will NOT handle exactly the same, in part due to the variable conditions (weather) you meet in the 'real world'.


Be sure you have a SAFE place to fly.


Smaller planes REQUIRE a 'hard' surface to take off and land, as they don't have the power or large enough wheels to handle 'grass' fields.


If possible, contact a loacl club. Most of them are quite willing to help you learn to fly.





ALSO, the smaller models (EP and/or Gas) do NOT handle even light breezy winds very well.I am a beginner in RC aircrafts. Is it suitable for me to buy a T-34 Mentor EP as my first plane?
it is not really a next step plane war birds fly faster and land faster they tip stall easy if you don't have the air speed on landing then a trainer I'm surprised you don't want a P51 most people want one of them next and horizon hobbies has a nice one that is a trainer that you can grow with here's the link to it. I have seen several fly and they do good

They also sell it ready to fly so all you need is the Field equipment but if your dead set on a T-34 make sure it is light so you will be able to slow down a Little better


fly safe

Dan A. You contradicted yourself. A P 51 is a warplane! Just joking Dan. But, I think a high wing trainer with alot of dihedral would be better for someone learning to fly from a simulator.








Besides, those models from that country look like ';throw aways. The first crash is the only crash it will have.';
If you have got the trainer down i suggest the Easy sport 40,it's alot faster then the trainer http://towerhobbies.com
