What planes should be used by beginners?

[Gambit9m]

I have never made an rc plane and i'm looking for ideas in both the DIY and premade planes. Please include 3d printable options as well.

Here is the place to start.

This flying desk is done slowly in 3-5 evenings. I have learned to fly and more than 40 other people I know. There is a video where I taught a 6-year-old boy to fly a neighbor's son in the country. I still fly this model and mow grass with a screw...

The Flite Test Scout is a great diy plane to start with.
The eflite Timber is a great pre-made plane

Tudor, tiny trainer, and get some lesson

Tutor and tiny Trainer are great planes

I'll add my vote for the Tiny Trainer. I have a Tiny Trainer, a Tutor, and a Scout. The Tiny Trainer is the easiest to fly and also the easiest to build of any of them. It floats so nicely. It takes less damage in crashes. Also, it doesn't have landing gear which takes away an unnecessary complexity for new flyers.

That said, I love my Scout and my Tutor too, but the Tiny Trainer is fantastic for first timers.

I agree with the tiny trainer. The Explorer would also be a good first plane.
