Status: offline 		IMO Ernbar has the correct approach to learning to fly. Get a .40 sized trainer with a good rep and have someone help you. Playing with those Radio Shack toys is a waste of time.

Status: offline 		I second the Sig Kadet LT .40. You won't find a better flying trainer anywhere. There are lots of other good ones but this one is the best.

A good airframe and a reliable, user friendly engine are necessary for a great experience with the new hobby.
