RE: Aerobird Challenger Advice?
I belly land it all of the time. Just give it a hard throw, like throwing a baseball, and it should just scoot off into the distance.
First things first (I assume you have no 3ch experience), climb up high and get used to turning it without using elevator control. But, as soon as you feel comfortable, learn to control the elevator as it will help you tons in flight, like when recovering from stalls or doing tight turns. And start in a nice open area bigger or about the size of 2 football fields put together.
It's a fairly straightforward plane to fly, you just need to get used to it. Don't over control, and if you do, don't freeze up like my dad, don't "pull up", just add opposite input and it will come out of it.
