RE: ? about learning to fly
Yep! If you treat it like a toy then it will get broken.
Of course it should not be treated that way or used that way. I think the box says 12 and older. I am 50, so I guess when I bought mine I qualified.
Now I have 8 toys ranging from the Aerobird to a 3 meter Sailplane.
I love my toys. They are so much fun. Only difference now is if I break 'em, I gotta fix 'em or pay to replace 'em.
Ah for the simpler days!
( Daddy ... sniff .. by an accident the tree hit my plane and broke it. sob sob! You get me a new one Daddy?)
