I've seen so many guys get sucked into these poorly designed minimal control type airplanes. They are a waste of money and make the hobby out to be bad. Best advice is to check with the local hobby shop and have them point you to the local RC club....

If that isn't available them try a flight simulator on the home computer.

But please don't waste your money on these piece of crap airplanes. They only lead to frustration and a significant loss of money....
