maybe my trainer will be one of the lucky few...I don't plan on going it alone. First of all, I have to build it myself and won't be in a hurry to wreck it. I also am having fun flying electric trainers to satisfy my urges to fly- this sort of takes the edge off of that powerful urge to fly that I'm sure lures many beginners into putting their trainer up without proper preparation. Once I have my plane ready, I plan on going to a local field and getting someone knowlegeable to go over my plane and make sure it is flight ready...let him (or her) take the plane up and then let me fly with a buddy box. In the meantime flying the electrics although totally different than nitro I'm told...at least gets me used to RC flight in general with plane orientation, the difference in control movements depending on if the plane is coming or going, how to use and allow for wind, avoiding overcontrolling, etc., etc.
