hello everyone..
i want to buy my first rc plane..i had decided to make one at first but
i realised that the parts(radio 4ch-3000rs,motor+esc+battery+prop+servos*2=3000rs)
of the airplane itself cost me around 6000rs+shipping extra..
and i would also have to invest time,money and energy in building the outer frame
of the plane...
so i thought why not just buy a plane...which are costing around 7000rs here..
and later on when i build my own model i can take the radio and servos from this
one and will just have to change the motor+esc+battery combo and can have
a better plane when i am more experienced...
i just want to know whether as a beginner this particular plane is good for me?
heres the website:
http://www.jackshobbies.in/products_big.aspx?imgid=1056
this is without radio which is costing me another 3000rs,so total 7000rs,
so my question is
1.is this plane advisable to a beginner like me?
2.and if yes then is it reasonably priced here to buy from here?
any suggestions and help is very much appreciated...
thanks in advance guys.....

doc..welcome to the forum..

search for "jack hobbies" and their product quality and service.. you will understand.

search on the forum and the answer lies within..:)

okay,sorry about that...didnt mean to spam the place...
i just joined a lot of forums and am recieving very little help...
researching stuff on the internet since 2 weeks and have dark circle under my eyes.. :)
(i have holidays ).i have an obsession to fly airplanes since childhood,and also to make
them...i once tried in 8th class and failed and ended up making rc boat instead..
10 years now and i have resources like the internet and the beast in me is not letting
me sleep... ;)
i wanted to make an rc plane but was getting overwhelmed as to which motor+battery+prop
combo to buy as there is so much info that it is making my brain go hot...
anyways i did find that jack hobby is not very good as some problms have been reported.
but since i stay in the same place i thought i would check bfore buying it in the shop..
any suggestions as to is it advisable to make one or to buy this one i posted last?

but the plans are a little difficult for me to understand..(newbie)
anyway should i attempt this with thermocol?

rahulgaba

by the motor size and the electronics weight, its difficult...

yes motors are all brushless...  the plans are very very simple.. honestly... not trying to make you look bad friend... just print them if you can.. and arrange them... you'll see it all come together... i can help you in those... I have built it, its very very easy... I am new in planes too ... so , just 4-5hours of total work.. I have videos of this flying .. lol .. or my tried to fly mine!! :)
