Large Model Association Forum

I am new to this website and also to RC modelling and do not own one, and have never built one, so don't know where to start.

Can anyone give me some advice on the best place to start?

I admit to not being so good at making things so I wondered on the average cost of a trainer?

Thanks Guys!

Well, this is the large model association, so everything we do is bigger than the norm, and there are good trainers, but do you mean the more standard club trainer? These days, at club size, most are built in a box, just need assembling, in the large size, there is the sky series, available in, i think, 2 sizes, http://www.slecuk.com/balsa-wood/Sky-12 ...

In club size, there is the superb Mascot trainer, eaisly the best out there http://www.dbsportandscale.com/mascot-6506-p.asp

Then these days, will it be powered with an Internal combustion engine, or a very viable electric motor set up? Electric has come a long way,

There are various out of the box trainers,

Hi Colin. The best advice would be to join a club. Have a look for your nearest, and go to have a chat with them. Most clubs offer training FOC. http://www.clubmap.bmfa.org/
