hi

i am a newbie and am having flying troubles. I went to the field with the hobby shop owner and my 1st plane--thunder tiger "sparky". I flew it for 30 seconds and he and i both felt this was not quite a "trainer" plane. I did not want to demolish it, so i stored it for now and bought a zagi fixx. I flew it twice. once for a minute and demolished it. I rebuilt it and flew on my own for about 20 seconds and demolished it again.

SInce i have a pretty penny invested and did not want to throw in the towel- i put the zagi fixx ( in 10 pieces) aside and am now building the wingo.

my question is: since it is hard to match schedules with the hobby shop guy, do you think I could learn to fly this myself? NO, i do not have a home computer so a sim is out of the question.

I thought that maybe i could taxi for awhile until i feel ready for take-offs.

Incidentally, I am left handed and I don't know if this is adding to my inability or not.

Any answers would be appreciated, as well as anyone's views on flying the wingo , or a good first plane.

thanks
