RE: Successful 1st flight: novice & Aerobird Challenger
This plane is awesome, I just bought a stryker, but after my first outing and nosediving the poor stryker I decided to try flying a challenger before I put the stryker in the air again. The challenger is one tough bird! I crashed it at least 6 times, well a few of the crashes were really rough landings but I just readjusted the wing and tossed her in the air again. I do need a new wing though, my propped ripped a chunk out of the stock one. But even after it did that, I was curious to see if it would still fly...it DID!!! It was harder to control but manageable. The challenger is a great first plane...One thing I didnt like was the stock battery. No big deal I just ran my 7 cell from my stryker in her. I had to use a little electrical tape to keep the canopy flush with the fuselage though.
