On the topic of beginners to flight. Does any body think that the typical ready to fly pod and stick models for around £50-60 would be a good intro to electric park flying?
I have recently picked up a Scorpio ARTF Albatros D.Va 3channel park flyer kit with a 280 motor, for a very, very good price. However I am a bit reluctant to attempt to fly this as my first aircraft. I was thinking it might be worth while getting an RTF and learn the ropes with this first and perhaps leave the Albatros on the shelf for a while.
I have had some experience of building and flying rubber power free flight models of various shapes and sizes. I want to take my enjoyment of this to the next step with electric flight.
