I wouldn't say I'm asking for trouble. It's harder but nitro is what I had already so I'm not going out and buying electric just to learn. I'm still confident ill learn to fly nitro quickly.
Nitro vs. electric? Really? Are you flying out of left field?
Plenty of nitro-powered 3-channel gliders on the market....
My point is that landing gear presents another variable, which new "teach-yourself-to-fly" pilots often struggle with.
Aileron differential, adverse yaw, coordinated turns, crab angle, skids vs. slips....that all comes later.
Big words for a noob!
