If you can fly a helicopter, then I think you'll be bored silly after just a couple of flights with a high wing trainer. I’d say go with the Goldberg Tiger 60, or with something like the Bruce Tharpe Venture 60.

It was my second plane, and I believe with a little help, you'll be flying it quite easily. Even just one check flight can tell if the CG is correct and the control surfaces are set up properly.

It has a very light wing loading (19 oz / sq ft) which means it will really slow down for landing. Landings are one of the scariest things for a newbie, so this will ease you along.

Once you're comfortable with it, you could even remove one wing bay off each side and add some lead to make it fly more 'warbird like'.

You can download the manual and see if you can understand what the steps are.

It is a very nice kit. The only thing is that I am not sure if he has them in stock. I remember back when I bought mine that supply was an issue for him.

Just my 2 cents.
