I have only been flying for about 4 months. Taught myself how to fly. Currently I have a flyzone micro cub and a flyzone micro fokker dr1. Both of which are 3 channel. How much harder is it to fly a 4 channel and what would be a good 4 ch plane to start with? Would it be better to learn on a micro size or move on up to a 36 to 48 inch wing spanned? I do need to stay with a plane that I can hand launch and grass land. Been kinda looking at the corsair with the skidders for grass landings but not sure if that would be a good 4ch to start with...?

If you are looking at the UM corsair, dont, its too fragile for a beginner. a T-28 is much easier to fly.  The Parkzone T-28 will make a good 4 channel plane.  If you can turn with rudder and fly OK, the transition should be too hard.

Ditto to acdii. I went from 3 channel Champ to Trojan without a hiccup. A little faster and more agile, but overall an easy transition.

I started on a 3 ch Kadet and now also fly a 4 ch Carl Goldberg Freedom 20. For me, the biggest issue is remembering to use my left thumb to steer on the ground with the 4 channel and my right thumb with the 3. I have drifted off the runway more than once before realizing I needed to use the other thumb!

How is the flyzone focke wolf. Does anyone have one of those???

Consider the 3 channel Flylite before going to a 4 channel. After that perhaps a larger cub like the flyzone 3' or 4' one would be nice. The sensei and the switch are also nice 4 channel planes.

I just started on the FW190 from flyzone. I love it so far. I'd get that after the switch. You have 2 minis , that's probably enough if you're interested in progressing.

I was looking at the flyzone switch at one time and have looked at the flyzone piper cub.
