Hello,
I have experience with RC helis and cars. I also like RC planes but never had one ...
so i am thinking of buying / building a plane.
I want to build a  P-51D Mustang ( http://www.rcbazaar.com/products/1044-p-51d-mustang-17-span.aspx )
What components are included in the box and what are the things that i need to buy ???

Also how does it fly ???
Is there any other model in the same price range, better than it ??

Would be building plane from scratch be better ???

Rohan, 'beginner' is the keyword for you mate......and P-51D mustang ain't a good choice for a first time rc pilot.....go for planes like easystar, blue baby, piper cub, cessna-180 etc, these are called trainer models.....google 'em

RC Bazaar has an excellent selection of Trainers. Check them out

hey hey
I have experience with flying RC planes. I have flown many but they were not mine.  I lack the experience of building one from the kit /scratch.  All the planes that I had flown were my friend's and were already built.

Sanjay sir, don't be so.
Anyone who can build/fly a radio controlled 17 inch P51 is to be lauded.
Especially in Rs700.

Great,  so you are an expert. I think P51 would be too easy for you  :) Go for something more advanced like this

sure just give me enough money to buy it ;)

another question is building my own build (based on plans available) be better???

is it that important to have a trainer???

sanjayrai55

It is not essential to have a trainer; depends on your flying skills, and how confident you are with them

It's always a good idea to build your own, but DO use a proven design the first time

Maybe you could select an intermediate model?

Good luck, and all the best!

R0han

Thank You for your support  :)
Can u suggest some good designs ??
I was thinking of Pylon Racer by Mikeys' RC ( http://mikeysrc.com/Pylon_Racer.html )

sanjayrai55

Pylon Racers are designed for speed, speed and more speed ;D

Better to go with a sports model, where you could try the whole gamut of aerobatics, loops, rolls, and pattern flying.

I saw this on the site you suggested : http://mikeysrc.com/Sport-Trainer.html

You could always build the Pylon Racer as your next model  :thumbsup:

R0han

OK time to get to work  ;D ;D ;D
Thank you once more   :hatsoff:

Do u think rudder will be necessary??  :headscratch:

sanjayrai55

Rudder is good for landings, and essential for advanced aerobatics

hello rohan... so tell me have you flown a plane before? if you have, then why don't you want to put a rudder?
