RC Airplanes for Beginners - If you are just starting out we recommend The Beginner's Guide To Flying RC Airplanes E-Book This book will dampen the learning curve and help you enjoy the hobby even more.

Our hand picked selection of RC Airplanes for beginners features only the highest quality planes currently on the market. For those starting out, we recommend the planes included in this category. They were selected for ease of use and stable and forgiving flight dynamics.  If you need help picking out the right one, or narrowing down your selection feel free to contact us.

Here's some terminology you might not be familiar with. Radio Control Plane kits are sold basically 3 ways.

RTF - Ready to Fly means the kit is fully assembled (some minor assembly might be required) and that everything you need to fly is in the box.

BNF - Bind-N-Fly means the kit is just like a Ready to Fly, but does not include a transmitter. The reason for this is so that you can select a high quality radio, and use it on many different aircraft models rather than buy a new radio each time. If you need help picking a radio for a BNF plane please let us know.

ARF - Almost Ready to Fly means the kit is just a basic airframe and you will need to most likely do some building and purchase additional items to complete the kit. ARF kits are for advanced pilots with building and prior flying experience.
