I receive a lot of questions as to what someone should choose for their first plane.

My second recommendation is to find an experienced flyer through your local club who is willing to mentor you in how to fly model aircraft. They are no less complicated or difficult to fly than full-scale; in fact, in many ways they are much harder than full-scale due to parallax shift, eyesight limitations, and control reversal. Here's my response to a friend with this same question.
