RE: Why can't I fly?
Chall, I myself dabbled with a Hobbico AeroCruiser (or Cubwannabe as I now call them). Take heart, they fly like trash.
I agree with Steve, check into a Firebird. They're quite popular among new electric pilots. I myself had a chance to fly an Aerobird (test hop for guy) and can vouch for its flying charactaristics. They really make good trainers.
