So I want to buy my first plane. I already know what plane I'm gonna buy
http://www.nitroplanes.com/60a-dy8925-hawksky-rtf-24g.html

I've been told be a couple of people that is a really good starter plane. I was also told to buy glue, clear packing tape and an extra prop. So heres my questions.

1) what kind of glue do I need?
2) when do you use glue vs. packing tape
3) how do I know what size prop that takes because I dont see where it says in the description.
4) What do the prop sizes mean exactly?
5) if I put a heavier battery in it how to you counter balance it to compensate for the extra weight?

Thanks in advance.
 
All that info will be in the manual that comes with it, including how to balance it. After you get it, if you need any info ask again.
 
Ok cool. Thanks Rolex. I just hate being a noob all over again....it happened when I first got into RCs, then again when I got into electrics and now again now that I'm seriously considering getting a plane lol.
 
I really like the looks of that plane. Watched in on a youtube too. Think it might be my next rc purchase, looks easy and real fun.
 
This is the first plane I got and am still trying to come to grips with it. I've had better luck with my helis, but I'm weird.....
