great (and sometimes not so great) words of knowledge:

I hate to disappoint you, however, the ME-163 is DEFINITELY NOT FOR
BEGINNERS.  It is a sharp looking plane, but the handling is well above
what a newbie (or many experienced flyers) can fly.  Not to mention, you
have not added in the complexity of a turbine or ducted fan yet either.

I know you really don't want to hear this, but hear it is anyway.  Find
a club.  The club will provide an instructor.  Learn to fly a propellor
driven plane first.  Advance through several other planes, each faster
and more maneuverable than the one before.  When you can SAFELY FLY AND
CONTROL a plane, CONSISTENTLY, at speeds in excess of 70 mph, then you
MAY be ready to fly your ME-163.

You wouldn't put someone who has never driven a car behind the wheel of
a 500+ horsepower Indy 500 race car and tell them to go and learn to
drive.  It is the same with this plane.

greetings
thanks for the information and the advice    actually what i want to begin
with is the building stage, i have a lot of experience when it comes down to
the building or making of such items    but not a rc plane.
thanks

This is a joke, right? Otherwise I would recommend a turbine-powered
Space Shuttle to adequately challenge your psyche. Bon chance!
