Buy Electric Rc Airplanes
Electric Remote Control Airplanes are best for beginners.
The power of RC electric flight is amazing, not to mention much easier to own and operate 
With glow engines there is the problem of maintaining them and making sure they are up to snuff.
Over my years as an RC pilot, I have found that beginners and advanced pilots both seem to like electric RC airplanes, so it is a great idea to buy one as your first airplane.
Simple electric RC airplanes, like the Sky Vector shown below, are great because they are very easy to fly, and you really only have too master two controls. One control being the speed and the other being the direction you want to move in.
One of the best things about airplanes like the Sky Vector though, is the fact that they can be ready to fly within 15 minutes of opening the box! Basically, it is a no hassle approach to flying RC airplanes, which is what most beginners like and need.
Electric RC trainer airplanes are also available for people who want to actually train with electric airplanes, because that is all they intend to fly.

Important Electric RC Airplanes Reminders
There are many types of Electric Rc Planes you can choose from. There is your regular electric rc airplane, then there are park flyers and slow flyers and some rc jets that are powered electrically. Park and Slow flyers are great for some fun flights in your back yard, or any local park. Electric r/c jets are very fast and fun to fly too. Follow those links to learn more about them.
Before a beginner decides to purchase an electric rc plane, you should keep these two things in mind:
1. Wings should be high up on fuselage
2. Should be an electric trainer that is RTF or ARF
Having the wing high up on the fuselage creates more stability, and RTF’s/ARF’s are easy to put together and start flying.
Below is a list of equipment that every beginner should have to make there electric rc plane work properly. A RTF and ARF kit usually includes everything needed with your purchase. Just go through the list to make sure you have it all.
airplane kit
electric motor and speed controller (maybe propeller too)
battery pack and appropriate charger
radio transmitter (AA or AAA batteries) and receiver
Just a reminder, always look for “not included”, and be sure to purchase what is not.
Why Choose Electric RC Planes?
Electric rc airplanes are easy to use, simply charge the battery and fly. Flight time can be anywhere between 10 to 30 minutes per charge. Buy an extra battery pack and fly for over an hour!
Electric powered rc airplanes are quiet, allowing you to play without neighbors complaining about the noise.
Electric rc airplanes are less complicated than gas models, best for beginners.
There are many ups and downs to electric rc planes. Let’s look at them now.
Electric RC Plane Pro’s Electric RC Plane Con’s
quite
cheaper
environmentally friendly
easy to fly
easy to fix and replace parts
slow (some exceptions)
short flight times
not realistic looking or sounding
Basically, if you are looking for just some quick little flights every once in awhile, then electric r/c airplanes are perfect for you. If you want to get into faster more advanced airplanes, then I suggest you check out gas and jet rc airplanes.
Equipment for Electric RC Airplanes
Electric RC airplanes just need the following:
rc airplane kit
electric motor
battery pack for electric motor
charger for the battery pack
radio control system
12 AA sized batteries for the radio control system

What Model to Buy?
For beginners who want to fly immediately, I suggest buying ready to fly rtf electric rc airplanes. RTF a cheap rc airplane that come complete with all needed equipment.
Electric Motors
Electric rc airplanes operate on a electric motor and it is powered by a battery pack. Electric motors are nothing fancy, and are cheaper then glow engines. So far my experience with electric motors has been great. I don’t think you will have any problems either, as long as you take care of your electric motor and try not to crash.
Let’s Start Flying!
Any beginner can fly electric RTF and ARF rc airplanes. If you want to learn to fly your plane, I suggest you buy a good rc airplane book and practice flying your electric airplane. Since there slower and cheaper then gas rc airplanes, it’s okay if you make some mistakes. If you still think you might need help flying your rc airplane, then visit my learn to fly page.
First, you need to focus on choosing the right airplane. Before you start spending money, ask yourself these questions:
much do you want to spend?
How fast do you want your airplane to go?
How far do you want it to go?
Do you want a scale model (realistic model) or a non-scale model?
After you have answered those questions above, you can start looking for the right plane.
What else will you need?
I think every rc airplane pilot should have a field box. There great for fixing some problems you might have out in the flying field. If you want to have a longer flying time with electric planes, you might want to think about buying an extra battery. For even longer flying times, you could buy a car charger for your rc airplane battery. This way one can charge why you use the other. Check out my parts and accessory pages to find these items.
Something every beginner should consider buying is a good book or subscribing to an electric rc airplanes magazine.
