OK, I'm a little intimidated, but I think you guys have convinced me on the P-51. <div>
</div><div>I do have RealFlight and when I mess around with the planes it does seem almost comically easy, so much so that I don't think the simulation can be as accurate to real life as it is with heli's.</div><div>
</div><div>Unfortunately, I live in a rural area with no RC aircraft community, so I won't have the benefit of someone to buddybox me. But I didn't have that benefit with heli's either, and that seemed to work out alright.</div><div>
</div><div>Another thing I should have mentioned is my flying environment. I live on a 4-acre walnut orchard, which may sound ideal, but there's no one big open space because of all the damn trees. Its fine for heli flying, but now that I'm actually thinking about the logistics of flying a plane between them I'm a little worried. The property is on a lake, but frankly the thought of flying over water scares me worst than possibly flying into a tree.</div><div>
</div><div>Might I want to go with the slower Alpha to more easily weave through the trees, or is that just wishful thinking and I'm going to have to drive to an open field to fly either of them anyway?  Thanks for all the help!</div>
