Hey guys, I am interested in getting into the RC hobby. I have a CT6B Fly Sky 6ch Tx/Rx and that's it. I would prefer a plane that comes with all motors so I only need to buy a battery. I don't mind buying from aliexpress or LHS as long as the plane is not too expensive and not too hard to fly because I have never flown a plane before.

Thanks for all recommendations!

Thank you for the suggestions. Can you also recommend where I can purchase said planes?

Get in touch with rcdhamaka , they were about to get a new batch of easy star 2 . The Reciever ready version is for 12000 so only a battery is needed . Btw i would recomend you to buy a simulator first like the realflight .
Hobbico next star | sky surfer V2 | .46 High wing trainer | O.S .46 Ax | O.S .46 La | O.S 55 AX | super tigre .10 motor | Spektrum DX5e | FUTABA 10J | Hitec X4 Eighty | Phoenix Scanner | Multiplex Twinstar ii

Acquiring soon |  no plans as of yet  |

The ultimate responsibility of the pilot is to fulfill the dreams of the countless millions of earthbound ancestors who could only stare skyward and wish.

Multiplex Easy Star II. Although Expensive its a one time buy and will provide you with quality flying experience which will make you want to fly more and stay connected with to the hobby.
Avoid the other ones mentioned if you want peace of mind.

so you should be looking for Rx-R models where one requires battery and receiver to complete and fly the plane

this is what i'm using, see the last 3 videos to get an idea of flight characteristics.

Today might be a great and wonderful day. It depends on you.

Not all RX-R have the best of Pre installed Electronics Ready before buying.
Some are total junk.

I have to completely agree on what rcimpulse says, i case you can access rc stores go check the stuff physically or get your self a multiplex make beginner model kit and buy rest of the electronics. It costly nearly or slightly above the Rx-R models. Also check multiplex panda sport.
Today might be a great and wonderful day. It depends on you.

not some most are junk, like the props, contrrol horns, never trusted any stock here!! and some times the motor too, so but a kit version and take some help from the forum select suitable motor and other stuff and be happy with it!!

Not entirely true , i got a easy star 2 RR for a friend and every thing is of great quality. I have also seen a multiplex stunt master RR and the same is true for that as well .

I don't want to say which one because im trying to sell it for a dear friend who purchased a very reasonably priced Rx-R version very popular brand but he wasn't able to do a good maiden because of the esc/motor combination came pre installed with low grade wire from esc to motor etc. . He then got the  aircraft replaced by x store but the second One had a bad motor and mount would heat so much it can melt the foam. So do research before buying on Google maybe before getting your first plane!
That said I'm not being bias some people who love to diy wouldn't mind fully upgrading their RXr version and things work out fine. Personally I feel the flight experience, quality /time spent  and less headache of an easy star justifies  its high price tag.
