Model Aircraft Information
On this page, you will find information about almost every aspect of Aeromodelling.
  Starting Out: If you are new to the sport of model aircraft piloting, then I can give you some great help.
For your first model, I recommend a smaller plane, for an engine size 10cui - 20cui. These planes are light, responsive and easy to fly Being light means they are a lot stronger, and therefore if you crash them, you will do less damage.
For your first motor, I would recommend an OS. OS have been around for years, and are very reliable. If you are starting out, I would suggest that you get a motor in the FP series. Just for a general price idea, dont pay anything more than for a 40 FP.

This would be an Ideal model to start out with, it's small, 10 powered, light and can fly pretty slowly.
  Sport Models: About 6 months ago, the P&DARCS made several X-PERT kits, and sold them to members of the club for AU. The X-Pert is the ideal sport model: Symmetrical wing, Low-Wing, Very Very Very responsive, and fully Aerobatic. The X-Pert is not much harder to fly that an advanced trainer, but a lot more fun. They are the Ideal model for someone past a trainer and who wants to practise their aerobatics. Even better than an X-Pert is a fun fly type model like my Great Planes Dazzler. It does better Aerobatics, better performance and almost better everything. You can see pictures on the Model Aircraft Photo Page.

Brian Gibaud and his Spitfire. Built from Airborne plans with a Thunder Tiger 91 4-Stroke and Electric Retracts. Flies really well.
  Scale: Scale flying is reserved for the best of pilots. Scale models are models that are smaller versions of their full-sized counterparts. They usually have a high wing-loading and some nasty flying characteristics, but looking so realistic in the air makes up for this. Scale models are usually the most expensive models, ranging from AU to AU$ 2000.
