There are model airplane kits available from HobbyCraft…?
which are like airfix, cost about £15, but can be made as models, or into RC planes if bought with the RC parts (basically by inserting electric, gas or petrol engines)! Does anyone know what companies make these?
I saw them in store (quite a collection of them in cardboard boxes about 60cm by 15cm by 10cm) last week and forgot the manufacturers name! *doh*
Heya! Thanks for the info, but I like building stuff and doing the electronics rather than flying etc.
For instant, I built a matchstick model boat (of my own design) recently and fitted up to be rc, after a test it went on the shelf to make room for my next project!

Don't jump into a purchase because it's cheap . . . you get what you pay for.
Visit your hobby shop, let them do your job and tell you what's good and bad about various models. Go with a good brand name product, decide what you want to do - electric or nitro - there are limitations to both.
Gather more info from other people in the hobby. One of the best sites to visit is

Read up, learn what you're getting into - then lay down the cash.
Oh and if you're not crashing, you're not flying as often as you should!
