Better still, join the those funflies you can. From there you'll see many types of planes and perhaps find your love there
Easier to start if you fly same type of planes the seasoned flyers are flying, as tips like CG and placement of electronics can be given.

I see but Bro dont really understand le hehe what is CG?

[flightsimmer]

if im nt wrong. CG = Center of gravity or also COG. it is where ur plane balances? means front n back same.. so it can be straight... not front / back heavy...

If u intend to fly electric heli then 7 ch will be better......

3 channels for cyclic (3 servos)
2 channels for good gyro
1 channel for ESC
1 channel for separate BEC (mostly bigger heli)
