DO NOT DO THIS
by: rcdude07

From your post I get the impression you are brand new to the hobby with no r/c flying experience.

I highly highly highly recommend you start with a trainer type aircraft such as the E-Flite Apprentice S, Apprentice, or similar high wing trainer type airplane.

An EDF is for those with advanced skill sets as they fly fast, have a much slower power up/down time cycle, are twitchy to fly, and require a much larger place to fly. I personally watched a club member drive his Durfaly Vampire into the ground because he was not ready to move up to an EDF.

Keeping the F-117 as a goal when you achieve advanced skill sets will keep you wanting to learn more.

However, if you choose not continue into the EDF as your first plane you will be setting yourself up for failure.

Good for amateur, but not to start with
by: Dan

I think this model is not the best for a newbie, but for an amateur. It's hard to land it and it could easily be smashed :p.
I would recommend you some of this models to start with (easy navigation, good design, not a high price and can be upgraded)

1)Top Race TR-C285
2)E-Flite Apprentice S 15E RTF
3)HobbyZone Sport Cub S RTF
Those are good to start with, immo. You can check more here https://geeklah.com/best-rc-airplane.html . Cheers
