It is recommended that if you have decided to purchase a model plane for yourself or a relative then the ideal first choice is any ARF models.
This provides easy handling for someone with little or no experience and once confident then you can move onto something a little more advanced.
Choose carefully because selecting a model that is more than some can handle will cause nothing but trouble. If it is required, ask for professional advice from retailers, they are required to have experience in such matters and can recommend the best choices depending on your capability.
Top Tip: You don’t want to purchase a really expensive brand RC plane to begin with. Paying out lots of money just to crash it is unheard of. Getting a basic model will reduce this risk and will not put you off learning more advanced skills.
