Well.. One of my summer projects this summer is a plane!
I have LOADS of sim time, so if I fly carefully, I should be able to learn on a yak 54, right?

So, I was looking at the 25mm EPP Yak 54 from rcforall:
http://rcforall.co.in/product_info.php/products_id/48

The main reason I selected this is because I dont wanna grow out of a trainer too fast..
Also, the cessns is only 3 channel, whereas the yak is 4.. Also, it's BIG.. From what I've heard, bigger is more stable, right?

Motor comes with the kit..

Not finalized on a battery.. Looking for a 3s 1000-1500 mah 30c.. Not able to find any 30c.. Only 20c  ???

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

learning to fly on a 3D plane that too a flat profile ..... :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:...its a pain.....believe me i have been trying the same i have a already abused two brand new epp planes that they are no longer in flyin condition going to do with 1 more after my exams but no i can fly it well ...but seriously you cant learn proper flying from these flat foamies .....it better you get an easy star or easy cub....its a free suggestion my my side if u want it you can take else your choice....
taking of yak...i personally don't like yak...its better you build an extra

plus as beginner in 3d  use a normal 2s 1000mah or 800 mah.....at 3s it donst give that better response for 3D

Thanks for the suggestions, guys.. I have learnt PROPERLY on a sim.. So, hoping I can start with a 3d Foamie.. (So I don't grow out of it too fast) I was hoping to reduce EPA..
Else, I'll go with the Cessna 182 from Techone..

@Augustinev
I don't know lotta techniques for building from scratch..
So, I wanted my 1st foamie to come with all hardware included.. Maybe after this, I'll start scratchbuilding..

IF I do go with the Cessna, how are these electronics?

Ya, the Cessna is foam..
The F-22 is certainly a harder model to learn on..
