If  you are just starting to get into flying remote control planes, your best bet is to purchase yourself a plane that is like a glider with dihedral wings. ( wings that taper up to allow self balance of the plane ). The best plane for you will be the Multiplex Easy Glider if you have $200 to spend. An alternative is the AXN Floater-Jet / Ready To Fly EPO which costs much less and has even more power becaues its equipd with a lip battery and a brushless motor and speed control. The easy Glider although a great plane comes with a cheap brushed motor that is underpowered and comes with NiCad battery which is the weakest batteries for this hobby. Now the AXN Floater-Jet / Ready To Fly EPO from hobbycity is a dream radio control plane. Here are the specs for this plane.

This little screamer will have you tearing up the sky in no-time. Equiped with a high-kv motor, small propeller and a very smooth finish EPO foam surface (almost glossy) this plane can reach high speeds in a short amount of time, yet glide in gently to land thanks to its forgiving and large wing design.
An extremely easy plane to fly at half throttle and a noisy, fast eye opener at WOT!
