Learning to fly - The self-teach route starting with Hobbyzone

If you prefer to take the independent, self-teach route of learning to fly then Hobbyzone have a range of planes that are relatively easy to fly and designed with the novice in mind. Constructed from durable lightweight foam and powered by an electric motor these models are the perfect choice for the beginner.

With all the models everything you need to get started comes in one box: the model, radio, batteries and charger. So there is no need to run back to your model shop for batteries or accessories, just open the box, charge the battery, assemble the plane (this for most means attach the wing) and you can be flying in no time at all.

The Aeronca Champ, Mini Super Cub and the larger Super Cub LP are aimed at people that have never flown a radio-controlled model before and as such they are designed to be very stable in the air. Their designs and features are made to offer you the maximum chance of success, and of course the best part is that no prior experience is needed. Everything you need is in the box, so you can just charge the batteries and fly.

Each model features the very latest design, and the best part is that Hobbyzone backs these great products with an extensive range of spares, just in case of a bumpy landing or mishap!
