Default RE: landing gear for the Sky Scooter Pro 2?

Dano, I am a newbie and also got the SS pro. I recommend to all new flyers that they find an experienced flyer to help them before going out there alone. The urge is overwhelming to just go out there and try it on your own. This is foolish and can be dangerous. The reasons for going with a trainer is: 1) they will get your plane up for you and land it without destroying it 2) they can trim it to level flight for you 3) they will let you learn when it is up high enough to recover it for you if you get into trouble controlling it. 4) you will learn faster.
Flying is not as easy as it looks, that's why they make trainers and some great pc training sims with a rc controller. If you want less frustration, more fun, quicker learning and less money and time spent on repairs, then get some training help. You can go online and find an AMA club, get directions, go out there and ask an experienced old timer to help you fly. They will also give you all kinds of free advice. Remember that if you fly by yourself there is a potential for your plane to get away from you in the wind that is up higher, and if it lands on your neighbor's kid or car, you're in deep doo-doo. Good luck.
