Looking around the hobby store is great fun, but can become overwhelming to the first time R/C enthusiast. What plane would be best to start with? What radio should I choose? How much does it cost to get started? What will I need to get started? Do I need a special place to fly? Well, that is what this article is all about. Remember also, your local hobby store employee can be a wealth of information. Always feel free to ask for their recommendations, that is what they are there for. If ordering online there is usually a toll free number that you can call for information as well. Here at Recker R/C Club we welcome the first time flyer and many club members are willing to offer their assistance. Here is some information to help you on your way to becoming a successful R/C Pilot.
