Everything I read before I started said the Eagle 2 was the trainer to get, easy to build for the beginner, forgiving, and yet a great flying model plane. My first RC learning experience may have not been 100% successful, but it had nothing to do the Eagle. Actually I did learn something. I flew the instructors trainers for a while using just ailerons and throttle, and elevator, of course they took off and landed for me. Next when the Eagle was finished I continued with the learning curve, now with my plane. I actually made it to the point where I was able to take off. I really love that plane and it is still hanging up in a closet in like new condition. I will get back to it at some point, no doubt I will have questions about how to start an engine after sitting up for four years.

I just finished the Leonardo today. Instructions are crap, no, instructions are CRAP! Who knows how it will fly. I probably should have bought a Wingo but I hate the way it looks.

Later,
