proven entry level kits well suited because represent minimal investment come excellent instruction manuals always fly satisfactorily quite number choices presently available have experience several particular Ill list Im absolutely confident products refer Goldberg Mirage Great Planes PT Electric cabin designs Goldberg Electra Airtronics Eclipse Im told kit discontinued list real success story some may still available recently purchased models Ive listed possibilities rather ones local beginners routinely use Im assured sheer numbers cant go wrong choices Mirage PT Electric have wingspans about 50 inches Electra Eclipse have two-meter 78-inch wings really powered sailplanes suggest trying decide prefer cabin type soaring type go realize beginning modeler often anxious get air may

general Go kits above assured success satisfaction Because kits have excellent manuals beginning model builder will have relatively easy time model construction come suitable economy motor propeller
