RE: Guiding me through ele flight firsts...
John8750,
If you are ever in NY, Long Island to be more specific, I would be happy to give you a demo of the Aerobird in 15 MPH winds, perhaps higher. Just let me know.
Forgive me, but I am so tired of this issue of "you can't move the stuff". Who cares? Keep that Aerobird flying. It is so much fun, and so inexpensive. I have a bunch of planes but the aerobird comes to the field every time and I fly it almost every time.
Mine is always ready to intro other people to flying. I put it up about 200 feet. I give them some basic instruction and then I let them fly it while I ready one of my other planes, working right beside them. No one has ever crashed or had a problem.
It really is that easy to fly. You should try it. Really!
