ebay plane ?

[ravagesavage]

Hi, I'm new to flying planes and I just purchased a very cheap nib plane rtf from a company that sells them all day long for $26.00. I bought the b-29 fortress bomber and its electric. My question is, is this a decent plane to start out with just to learn. I've never flown a plane before, so any help would be appreciated. The item number on ebay is #5998591918 if you would like to see what i'm talking about. Thanks!

For $26, it's worth taking a shot with it. Hopefully it will fly well enough that you can decide whether or not you enjoy flying R/C and you can then decide if you want to try further.

Inexpensive foam electric RTF packages can be amusing for short flights, but they can be tricky to fly and they don't always last as long as we hope they will.

Some folks like the little B-29 electric flyers, others have trouble keeping them in the air. You mentioned you were wondering if this plane would be good to "start out with" so I wonder, do you have any longer term goals or aspirations to flying R/C such as glow powered stunt planes or helicopters or something?
