This is another great 3Ch plane! The Skyscooter was MY FIRST plane!
This plane has Aileron/Elevator control. HOWEVER this plane is a little
tricky for someone who hasn't flown before. Ailerons take some time getting
use to. They really bank the plane during a turn and you'll want to over correct
the plane and then bad things start to happen. The Skyscooter is very tuff &
can withstand several hard nose landings. If the noes does brake off, a little
5 minute epoxy & it's good to go!
