Status: offline 		I agree that the allure of these planes can get a newbie in over their head. The FMS F4U was my second plane after a 15 year hiatus...it was an emotional purchase (I blame growing up in the mid-70's, Robert Conrad and a weekly show you might remember) that was obviously beyond my abilities.  Luckily I met an AMA pattern competitor who took me under his wing, hangered the Corsair before disaster and taught me the fundamentals for over a year with progressively more complicated planes.  By no means am I "experienced" but sim time and working with a mentor will get me there eventually.

These newer generations grow up on keyboards, simulators and a " reboot solves everything , everytime.


Flying models IS NOT like that at all.
Get lucky & have natural flying abilities & Life is GOOD.

Status: offline 		Welcome to the club everyone who has bought a nitro or hk plane that was a piece of crapola. Took me a year to get my big hk corsair flying - Then it broke in half at takeoff. Beer cooler foam. That was after replacing the esc and motor, then the motor mount ....
