im a newbie, and by my second flight with my trainer i ran out and bought a H9 J3 CUB 80 to get ready and fly by my next flight sesion,i felt i was doing good enough,to handle the big bird.witch i had no problems at all in fact i feal the big bird flys better than my trainer i fly at 1/3 throttle and have to add rudder when im turning witch helps me get a better feel for flying. It sound like the real thing with the saito 56 4 STROKE IN IT. ,besides now when i take my trainer up i push it to mine and its limits making me feel more confident. I think its because if i crash................o well i have another ...........fly on!
