Agree with redblur. Get the EStarter as your first plane. Once you get bored with it, then the gates are open for 'endless' choices

how about a Cessna, i know tat there is a lot of brand and ver in the market.which of it is better?

[simonwoo]

Hee ok, remove any biasness cos I have an EStarter myself and am totally satisfied with it - I think all the Cessna/Beaver etc based planes are more or less the same in the sense that they have the same flying characteristics. What might sway your decision eventually is probably the looks

Since you are not totally a beginner (flying heli is no joke leh!), guess we don't need to tell you that the more important thing is to make sure the new plane set up properly so CG is right and everything is correct (eg. motor/prop combination). The last thing you wanna do is try to fight 'opposing forces' while learning how to fine tune your control of the plane's flying characteristics.

Again not trying to put any biasness here or advertise for anyone, but I got Derrick from Skyhobbies to set up my EStarter for me and you can just take it straight to the field and fly! Much easier that way as a first plane

You already can fly heli, cessna should not be a prob.

Maybe can even fly Formosa

Dont think its his cup of tea, he already got a JR9Xii. I agree the Beaver and the Estarter are both great starter plane for DAY flying. But too both has a very narrow threshold for head on crashes due to its foam fuselage and soft polycarbonate cowling(especially estarter). Night fly is a whole different story

Just my 2 cents

I recommend Multiplex Easystar for the ultimate in ease of flight. It's impossible to tip over, and only 3 channel, and I hear it can thermal. Also, it has a blunt nose, so it's impossible to have a nose crash and break motor mount. In this case, it's better than the SS or beaver. However it's horribly expensive compared to the SS or beaver.
I think it's about $150 sgd.

I recommend a Easy Glider, you get ailerons with it.

And it's easy to fly and of cause it glides too.

oh cessna.....but be carefull

it will stall if in low speed

E-starter or Wilga ......( wilga-2000 by Sapac great trainer but........Bad wing )

hi bro,

was thinking of this too.. heard that its made of reshapeable foam.. don't know the name of the foam.. so i was told..

yes its a bit ex.. but given its almost unbearkable and its foating capability..

this should be a good one to learn...

I'm no plane flyer myself.. was flying it in my sim and now thinking of getting a plane to learn...
