of course to get as skilled as the dancing plane you are gonna crash
about
$1500 worth of those kits


And will these thingeys get destroyed on a crash too or are they kindly
towards learners? I ask because where I am, I might just find one of
these in a store somewhere but will certainly not find an instructor
and I'll have to teach myself

the sub- $300 ones (sometimes sub $100) are the foamies casey talks about in
the other reply. usualy on a bad crash the bust a prop (a $3-5 item) or
maybe crack a wing (fixed with packing tape)

talk to the saledroids and see if there is a club nearby. an hour of
instruction can save hundreds of hours of self teaching.
also a club can make sure you do not learn bad habits.

also go check rec.models.rc.air and see. smaller planes, same politics.

one added issue to RC is that you need to mentaly reverse half the controls
when the plane is coming towards you. that and being hamfisted at the
controls are the two biggest issues about flying rc planes
