RE: Beginner plane recommendations
I total agree with the super cub route. It is a great beginner plane. If you are not going to learn at a club this plane is great. Order extra wing struts, cowl, props. Buy some CA glue and accelerator, you are going to need it. I have glued many of them back together for people. A hint for this plane is do not use full throttle on takeoff and use small inputs on the control sticks. Do not let it fly too far away from you and take it easy. Large control inputs will put it straight into the ground. Turn off the ACT. It should stand for Automatic Crash Technology. Stick with it and in a little while you will be having fun.
