The hobby of building and flying remote controlled (RC) airplanes has really taken off over the last couple of decades. There is something fascinating and rewarding about building a mini-replica of an actual airplane and then taking it out to watch it actually soar through the air just like the real thing. RC modeling fosters a real sense of accomplishment and can be a wonderful way for a parent to spend quality time with their child through the construction process, as well as learning how to fly a beginner RC plane.

Learning to fly an RC airplane is not a simple task and requires skills that can take some time to develop. Also, remote controlled models, for the most part, are not that cheap. It could be very disheartening to spend two or three months building a beautiful, expensive RC airplane only to have it crash and get destroyed the first time you attempt to fly it. So, how you learn to fly an RC airplane safely? The answer is to start with either an RC flight simulator, or build and fly a remote controlled trainer plane. While these airplanes may not have the snazzy look of a jet fighter, or the detail of a WWII fighter plane, they can be just as much fun to fly, yet are very forgiving when it comes to mistakes.
