www.rcuniverse.com has lots of info. Helis are fun, a good challenge!

www.heliproz.com and www.helicopter-world.com to buy stuff!

Tom are you new to flying? If so a helicopter might be a but tough to start off.

A T-Hawk is an ideal plane to start with and will take a few crash landings before needing a repair!

Take a look HERE I had one myself and for around �100 RTF its excellent.

arent planes and halicopters a completely diferent kettle of fish

Al's Hobbies are based in North London, prices are ok

Slough Models has a lot more and advertise in most of the mags.

If you are just starting - get a copy of FMS simulator - it is free and can be downloaded.

Look for the option in the FMS forum for interfaces - check out the sound card joystick interface - very easy to make �3.00

Radio - I have an FF9 Futaba - but you do not have to go down that road if you are just starting out.

You could get a FF6 - six channel of ebay with servos for about �100

A good starter plane

Internal Combustion

JR or JP ? Prankster - this is an EPP plane - very easy to repair.

Electric

Pico Jet

Twin Star

I have been flying planes for the past 15 years.
There is a good forum at:
http://www.rcmodelflyers.co.uk/4um/index.php?board=1
Or try
http://www.bmfa.org/links/Model_Clubs_UK/index.html
For a club in your area.
Drop in on the clubs. They are usually friendly and will give as much advice as you want. You can have a look at what is being flown as well.
It's usually easier to learn to fly through a club as an instructor will take control if you lose control of the model. It gets expensive learning to land otherwise.

Yeah i live in slough and can say that Slough RC is really good

I use them for petrol cars but can say that for planes and helis they are good and have loads in stock in radio gear, engines etc

Worth a look or a call

Cheers
