Skill Level 1 = No Experience Required

Skill Level 1 "trainer" aircraft are perfect for beginners and first-time RC (Radio Controlled) pilots because no prior experience is required to fly them! Many are available in a convenient RTF (Ready-To-Fly) version that includes everything you need to fly so there's nothing extra to buy or provide, or in an RTF Basic version that allows you to choose a convenient and money-saving Spektrumℱ Powerstage bundle – or the separate battery and charger you prefer – to complete them. Some are also available in a BNF (Bind-N-Fly¼) Basic version that allows you to use the Spektrum transmitter, battery and charger you prefer (sold separately). And most of them feature revolutionary and Horizon Hobby—exclusive SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology helps to prevent overcontrol, loss of orientation and crashes, along with multiple modes that deliver more control at the flip of a switch as your skills progress!
