Man I was the lucky one. When I met my instructor, and after the first day of flight...he had me follow him to his storage building, and he gave me a NIB Global Right Flyer 60 :-). GAVE it to me. I was stunned but very pleased too. Turns out, he is an older gent, and due to his wifes failing health, he doesn't get out as often. I feel like he passed it to me so I could get the GOOD out of it.

You will meet nice people in this hobby...many willing to help...because thats what they enjoy.

Good luck with whatever you decide to fly!
