First plane. Can I skip a trainer?
Yes, I agree. Lots of good input in this thread, thanks! Some of you may not have noticed since this thread is beginning to get fairly large, but I ended up purchasing the Tai Ji-40, I said Zen 50 earlier, my mistake. The quality of this ARF looks very good, unfortunately I just havn't had time to put it together these past couple weeks. I should have it together this weekend however, powered with a Saito FA-50. Someone said it might be a little underpowered, but we'll see how it goes.
Hopefully I'll get it in the air in a week or so, and if I end up crashing at least I won't have an emotional attachment to it since it's an ARF. But if this plane ends up being to tricky for me I'll try one of the many planes suggested on this thread. I'll let everyone know how it goes once I get this bird in the air.
