Hello Everyone

I am brand spanking new to this forum and would like some advice.

I have built various gas planes but for some reason ( procrastination? ) never flew them. I have really enjoyed building though.

I just bought a Thunder Tiger Sparky, and am going to be building it soon. In the meantime, I thought I would buy more of an "Intermediate" type kit , build it, and then let it sit for when I am ready to try aerobatics.

I did a lot of research on Northeast Sailplanes, found their kits, and reviews in mags to be good, and was looking at the Aerophat and another type, I forget the Name. I called NES and asked a rep there some questions. She asked me what brand I bought to start on, and then advised me that the Thunder Tiger makes poorly built kits that don't fly well. That 70% of the brands out there are junk and are there just to fool a newbie like me. She also stated that since my kit is so inferior, I will not be ready for an aerobatic, intermeditae type kit as my next plane to fly. SHe basically told me I wasted my $$.

ANy truth to this? Should I not buy a plane with ailerons as my 2nd? The Sparky just has rudder, throttle and elev. I would like to have ailerons as my next plane? ANy suggestions what to get? I would also like something that looks like a plane.

Thanks,

Joel
