[50%plane]

Welcome Supermo!

F15's are cool! I have a friend up there who works NDI with the OR ANG.

As far as companies to stay away from, the saying, "You get what you pay for" is true. Be careful when looking at some of these companies out there. As far as staying away, I wouldn't mess with Aerotech right now due to complicated issues with customers which is landing them in a potential legal mess.

Great Planes and Horizon Hobby have good quality planes that if you have an issue, they will back up their product.

Planes are more expensive than others, sometimes due to brand name, but these days, it more related to quality and completeness of the plane.

As far as what plane to buy, it all depends on where you want to go. Personally, if I was learning to fly right now, I would get the Hanger9 P-51 of F-22. Then transition into sport flying, 3D, aerobatics, etc. Information is all over for the types of planes that fit those styles.

Bigger usually does fly better, but it all depends on the plane, wingloading, etc. My personal favorite is a foamie, but I fly anything up to 50cc at this time.


Hope this helps!
