Hi George, This Basic trainer experience is what I'm trying to have the original poster avoid. My sons are not the only

new to C/L modelers to do simple aerobatics on their VERY FIRST control line flight. I can recall three adults that in their first

flight, did lazy eights, inside and outside loops and inverted flight(to them, inverted was just the other direction). One of those

adults was James Szhou, formerly of CS and Raptorz model engines. I'd like to point out that uninterrupted repetition of a

single maneuver such as the four-leaf clover is easy to master if you can do it for 20 minutes without refueling, without crashing.

Within an hour, you will be flying vertical and horizontal hourglasses. This will be my last rant in support of a beginner's first control line flying,

should should be with a stunt kite. I'm available to answer questions for anyone that wants to learn more about kite flying. Best Regards;

Tony
