This message goes out to all like my friend Dave who jumped into this hobby head first by purchasing an Alfa Models P51 Mustang as his first plane. "Dave I said, start off with an easier plane like an aerobird or similar, something plastic with replacement parts!" A short time later a debris field of foam scattered througout the school yard, pilot never recovered. Dave buys an Aerobird. I fly with him and he is doing very well. Wants to fly tonight I tell him keep it close the wind is strong! yeah ok I will... Aerobird MIA. To all newbies wait for that light wind day, and start off with something made for begginers. I will have to talk Dave into staying in this hobby. Any words of encouragment from anyone will sure help him, please post! and good flying!
