Thanks for your suggestions, but keep in mind an aerobird is three channels, the fire bird is 2. I respect your predictions of a 10% survival rate. But, in all do respect, what is so difficult about it? Really. I realize its bigger and faster, but other than that, what makes it so much more difficult than the aerobird. I have heard that ailerons make it EASIER to fly!

I do realize that it wont take much to destroy it. But.... as far as actually flying it, what REALLY makes it that much more difficult. I sincerely would like to know.

I may join a club. But like I said before my job will not allow me to go there that much because of the distance. Plus I'm pretty sure I will have to join AMA to join the club. So, its probably going to end up costing me 75 to 100 bucks or maybe more, and after I learn to fly I wouldn't be going anymore. If I had a club close I would definetely join. But I like to fly because its relaxing and fun. Waking up at the crack of dawn to drive to the club before the wind picks up don't sound very relaxing.

I plan on visiting the club this weekend. And I realize doing it myself will be totally different from knowing what to do. But I will at least learn quite a bit. My opinion my change after watching others fly this weekend.

But sincerely, exactly what makes the LT 40 SOOO much harder to fly (other than its faster, bigger, and more delicate)

I have seen on a couple forums that people say a basic glow trainer is actually easier to fly than the aerobird. I find that hard to believe, but if people are saying it, then the LT-40 must not be THAT much harder.

Thank you,
