A foamy flyer is exactly what I want, with the controls that I mentioned. Maybe I am totally misjudging and I 100% respect your guy's advice, but is a club really necesary if I just want to be the guy that's flying a foamy at the park? And with my job, I really don't think I could see a instructor much, maybe once every two or so weeks.

The plane that I want to work up to is some sort of b-17, like the one from Banana Hobby or Hobbyking. I really don't have any desire to get into gas/glow planes, or any crazy stuntflying.

Maybe I have the whole wrong idea here though.

For a first plane that's rtf, what would you recomend? I have been looking at the eflite Aprentice. Is that too advanced?

Thanks

Mike
