Welcome to our hobby, hopy you will get a lot of fun :). Controlling the plane is not a hard work, especially if you bought a right model (light, maybe even with autonavigation) My first plane was E-flite UMX PT-17. It has a great engine, looks great and is fast as bullet. Bought for $70, but now on Amazon it is $130. There is a lake near near my house, so sometimes i tried to learn landing a E-flite Timber 1.5m BNF on water without killing it. It's hard but after 6-8 attempts i got it right. Choose any of this models, you can upgrade them in future, buy details on Ebay and watch video "RC details for noobs" to learn more. Cheers!

There is a huge number of good planes to start with. Some with LED-lights, some have a cool design and can be upgraded. Here are some models which can be great for a newbie: 1) Top Race TR-C285 (great for gliding, $70) 2) E-flite Timber 1.5m (land on water, light, $260) 3) E-flite U2980 UMX Radian BNF Airplane (cool design, great maneuvr, $130) Choose any, gain experience and have fun with hobby

If you are a newbie i would recommend to watch at this list. You can buy new models after improving skills. Some have LED lights to navigate, some have cool design and are easy to maneuvr. Check it out
