I helped someone with an arrow recently The plane flies a bit fast for a person who is a bit slow to learn. Something with a bigger wing and/or a flat bottom airfoil is a tad easier.

Good luck with it. Real Flight is great. Its not impossible to succeed with Real Flight alone, just improbable.

And as St. Sigafoose, the Patron Saint of Lost Models says: may your glide slope be shallow and your impact gentle.
