Hi,
i am a first time flyer, never tried my hands on RC flying.
i would like to buy Avionic SK40-H (High winger) kit or ABS plastic molded Thunder Tiger Ready again a high winger

i am confused as which one will be good for learning and will withstand crashes. (Balsa or Plastic)

i already have a .46 Engine and rest of the electronics.

your advice will be of great help for me in shaping my hobby.

Thank you
Kind Regards

Hi,
If you are really concerned for your first flight and want a damage proof aircraft then better switch to electric setup.
There are many range of EPP aircrafts ,foamies available in India,  that can really save many bucks from your pocket and can be easily repaired.
The ABS plastic TT .46 aircraft is not a good choice , its wings are sturdy enough to resist the crash but fuselage build is very weak. If at any point you do a bad nose landing it can break & is not repairable.
