Default RE: bigchap

You would need a floaty low wing that is most forgiving if you wanna try one as a newbie. I just got the WM Rambler 45 and it might be a possiblity if you are a natural and have a good inclination. Also another would be the WM Sky Raider Mach II, that is decently floaty but then which low wing is as forgiving as a high wing trainer?

A newbie should never fly a real RC plane on their own, the risk is much too high, as stated you need to trim the plane out let alone worry about orientation. I did GP cars and it was not easy on the orientation. Mind you I have always been into RC and PC flight SIMS. That is a car on the ground with brakes, what more a plane? It will not be funny if a kid get the plane stuck through their torso ... not funny at all.
