"Not many hobbies have the potential to teach you such a diverse range of topics, or at the same time be as simple and straightforward as you want it to be.
In other words, you can throw yourself into the model building side of the hobby as much as the flying side of it, and learn about model airplane design and construction techniques, aerodynamics, mechanical issues, model engines, electronics.... the list goes on.
Or you can just buy a simple electric Ready To Fly airplane, charge the battery and go!"

"So then, what are the differences between transmitter modes? They are....
Mode 1 : the left stick operates elevator and rudder movement of the airplane, and the right stick operates engine power (throttle) and ailerons. With this set-up the two primary flight controls (elevators and ailerons) are on separate sticks and so you're less likely to inadvertently move one while intentionally moving the other.
Mode 2 : the left stick operates throttle and rudder while the right stick operates elevator and ailerons. This set-up corresponds to a real airplane's control stick, or yoke, because the two primary flight controls are on the same stick.
Personally I fail to see the relevance of this argument though, because flying a radio control plane and a real one are two completely different things anyway, and as someone who flies RC planes and has held a Private Pilot's Licence and flown full size planes, I know just how very different they are!
The following pictures, on the next page, show these two modes and the respective stick controls...."

"Elevators are the most important of all control surfaces, and as a result of the nose-up/nose-down attitude of the plane they directly effect a plane's airspeed. Up elevator will reduce the speed if engine power is not applied at the same time, while down elevator will initiate a dive and hence the airspeed will increase, as gravity kicks in.
So don't just see the elevators as the things that make the plane point up or down - they really are more than that! The illustration below shows the effect of elevators on the plane's pitch attitude.
As for transmitter stick movement, pulling the stick towards you will raise the elevator and pitch the nose up, while pushing the stick away from you will drop the elevator and cause the plane to dive."

"The correct choice of RC airplane as your first one is going to have a big impact on your enjoyment of and success with getting started in radio control flying.
Quite simply, if you buy the wrong kind of plane your first flight will likely end in disaster, probably seconds after take off, and you'll possibly lose all interest. I can't stress enough the importance of taking a bit of time and care when choosing your first plane, and this is actually a downside (about the only one...) to the wide availability and choice of radio control airplanes on the market these days - you can become very easily overwhelmed by the variety of planes out there, and if you don't know what you're looking for then it's all too easy to get impatient and make a bad purchase."

"The radio control range check is a crucial one that tells you whether or not the signal from Tx to Rx is good, and hence whether or not it's safe for you to fly your plane.
When you perform a range check you're effectively sending a much weaker signal from the transmitter to the receiver over a given distance. The picture below illustrates a range check, with instructions after...."

"If your plane has ailerons, use these in conjunction with up elevator to turn. Apply aileron and elevator to turn, and then opposite aileron to finish the turn and level the wings. You probably won't need much up elevator at all throughout the turn, but this is going to depend on the plane that you have. Return elevator to neutral as you exit the turn, or as necessary to maintain a constant height. If you are using ailerons on a four channel plane, don't worry about rudder for now. Use of rudder will come with time."
