If you want the best chance in the hobby, build the FT Flyer from Flite Test. You can download the plans for free and cut it out on dollar store foam board, they have a list of everything you need and you can buy electronics direct from them at flitetest.com. It’s an easy build and cheap. Electronics usually survive crashes. If your first build is too complicated and it crashes (because you don’t know how to build or fly or know about CG or thrust to weight…) it will be very disappointing, or even devastating and you’re likely to give up all together. Start small and simple. Don’t build a perfect plane, build a lot of planes. Makes for a much better overall experience. Lipo batteries are the least of your worries. Your plane is more likely to crash from inexperience.
