Hey I am 13 also and have been wanting to get an RC airplane for a while now too.



I know that you said you wanted to get a ready to fly but I have been doing some research and I found that a lot of people recommend the GWS Slow Stick I know it isnt RTF (ready to fly) but I hear it is a great beginner.

If you are interested in the Slow Stick here is a great thread to read. . .

If you dont want a Slow Stick I know a lot of people also like the HobbyZone Super Cub for a beginner plane and it is RTF here's a link to one http://search.hobby-lobby.com/psearch/svc/search.php?uid=1&q=hobbyzone+super+cub

If you decide to get one of the super cubs and get it from Hobby-Lobby become a member first and I think you get free shipping.





One last thing I think if you are wanting to get in to RC one of the thing s I would highly recommend is joing www.rcgroups.com and make some new threads asking for help and there will be a lot of people to help you







Hope this helps,

you should find more information on internet. how to control?, what type will be good for beginner, include the best deal price and. let's me example, what is RC a little bit.



The letters rc mean radio control. You'll frequently see rc airplanes described as push-button control however technically this is an inaccurate term. Radio control is the appropriate term since the airplane manages respond to radio signals that go through the air from the transmitter (abbreviated to 'Tx') to the receiver (abbreviated to 'Rx').

The transmitter (also often just called the radio) is the major box that you hold in your hands and use to regulate your aircraft, the receiver is found inside the airplane and gets the radio signals sent out from the transmitter.

The signals are sent out to the model in the very same essential means as television and radio broadcasts are sent out. Signals are generated whenever you move a stick or flick a switch on the Tx, and they are released via the antenna, or aerial.

All radio indicates operate a frequency typically measured in kilohertz (kHz), megahertz (MHz) or ghz (GHz). The Tx and Rx need to be operating the very same frequency for them to interact and the gizmo that determines which frequency channel the radio system uses is called a crystal. Both the Tx and rx require a matching crystal to operate. Crystals are only required in traditional MHz radio systems ...

Its a little bit out of your price range but a Hobbyzone Supercub or Supercub Mini would teach you just fine. My friends and i all learned on those and now i fly aerobatic nitro planes. Definatley worth taking a look at.



In terms of knowledge you should have, All you really need is some BASIC aerodynamic knowledge eg. rudder aileron elevator flaps and things like that. Also it would be good to know about your battery the supercub comes with an 11.1v battery while the mini is 7.4v.



I HIGHLY recommend this hobby its frustrating at first but after you got the basics your set for ,life!



Btw if 14
