I started with an E Flite bind N fly cub. But recently built the scout. The Scout is less expensive, flies like an out of the box ready to fly...and you get the added satisfaction of building one and that was fun. I recommend the build and fly experience with the ScoutHello all. New to RC and first time posting here.
I am thinking of getting a plane for both my son (10) and I to learn on. We were looking at either building the Simple Scout or getting a Horizon Sport Cub S. Any suggestions as to which would be a better beginner plane?
Thanks!

Thanks again everyone for all the excellent info!
After much thought and input from my son, we decided to go for the Simple Scout.
My son and I both like the idea of building it together and then going out and crashing, I mean flying it! I ordered the parts and speed build kit from FT. I got the kit to see how it should be before I try to scratch build one! While we wait for them to arrive, I'm planning on printing out the plans and getting some foam boards, so I have them handy for the inevitable repairs.
And so the journey begins...
Thank you all again.
4. You can get a cheap flight controller on amazon that you can use in the Scout to work just like the SAFE system
Depends on what you want to accomplish and what your setup is... Their is nothing wrong with the Aura but if you just want gyro stabilization with similar SAFE features look into Hobby Eagle or an NX3. You can get a Hobby Eagle Super II or A3 Pro w/ 6 axis stabilization for around $40 to $30 or stay with a simpler 3 axis setup with less features under $20 in the Hobby Eagle A3 v2 or NX3.Any recommendations here? Especially stuff available on Amazon?
I know that FT just got their own Aura flight controller, but it's borderline not cheap (or maybe it is for what you're getting). I've run across a few others but I have no idea what works and doesn't and what is worth messing with.
This is the one I will be picking up when I am ready, comes highly recommended,Any recommendations here? Especially stuff available on Amazon?
