Well said Jester.
Jester is spot on about finding an instructor or at least someone who fly's RC planes proficiently. An experienced pilot can tell more easily if you are flying just at the edge of stall and overt a crash along with many other things you could encounter. We alway's highly recommend people who contact our club to get help with thier first plane. We even offer complimentary first flights with a trainer and buddy box. I have always recommended the Super Cub as a first plane. As I have also flown the Apprentice I would recommend it too.
"If you are not sure about something always ask questions. The only dumb question is the one that should have been asked."
Happy flying and soft landings.
