As an instructor, I have flown this plane many times with students... this is a good airplane to learn to fly with...

I hope that you are a member of a flying club. If not, I would join one as this plane is really not for a school yard or park. You need to learn about adjusting the nitro engines and safe operation for starting and flying. These are not toys.

I second the notion of double checking the movement of the control surfaces... not just a wiggle, but checking for the proper movement for each stick... you would be amazed at how many planes are lost because they are reversed.
