Before had gotten this plane, I had plenty of RC flying experience with trainers, 4ch micros. It was time to step up to parkflier sized aircraft. I'm glad I did. Maiden went very well with a 30amp esc, but was a little warm. Since then I have put a 40amp esc. Yeah, um, I wouldn't have even considered parkflier size unless I was cruising my micros inverted less than a foot off the ground and have good control with them. I have gotten a few other parkfliers since then as well. A Dynam A-10 as an EDF trainer, and most recently a RocHobby F-16 that I love. The ground handling is horrible with the F-16 but it hand launches very easy and belly lands well. Thanks for making me feel kind of like I'm incompetent. I'm not...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9rAOFD3MOk
