What is your hang up about the Aerobird, its like you get mad if anyone likes the plane? lol. It was my first plane. I think it is a great way to learn to fly. It is cheap and durable with three channels. Now I will agree that it probably isn't the best electric trainer. But, I think it is probabably just about one of the best electric trainers for the price.
No hang up, simply think there are better ways to waste 150.00. Just my opinion
Just my opinion. To each their own. But I don't know why you have to get your feathers in a ruffle everytime someone has something good to say about the aerobird. If you don't like it, your entitled to your opinion, but that doesn't mean that your opinion is correct.
Wings,
Feathers are not in a ruffle maybe you need to take your own advice my opinion may differ from yours and there is no need for you to get your feathers in ruffle
IMHO I believe that the 'bird series of planes has harmed the hobby more then helped.
Wings maybe you could help me with these comments you made?????
I do think they are cheaply made and not the most dependable. But hell, for $150 bucks for a beginner plane that you most likely will toss aside and fly very little after you move on, it is a pretty good plane to learn on.
Also, I think the aerobird is difficult to fly. But why not learn on something that is difficult and sturdy and go to something that flies better and is less sturdy later. You can't go wrong.
In your first statement you call the plane cheaply made (I'm assuming from the context of your statement Cheaply is refering to quality of construction rather then cost of construction) and not the most dependable, Then you go on to basicly endorse the product because the only charged you a little for it. To me cheap and not dependable equals bad product at any price!! Then you state that most people will toss it aside after learning (BTW I have a 8 year old trainer in flying condition and I bet others can beat that)
In your second statement you claim the arebird is difficult to fly. But yet you reccomend it for beginners? Wouldn't it be prudent to recomend a plane that is easier to fly? You then claim plane is sturdy yet you have already described it as "cheaply made and not the most dependable". So my question is? After reading what you wrote how can one conclude that this would be an ideal plane for a beginner??? You have bashed the plane worse then I ever have yet you seem to take offense at my dislike of the plane... go figure
