Hey I feel your pain! Was doing great with my aerobird challenger on my first flight with it, i decided to let my daughter try it for just a second. Climed nice and high and the last thing I remember is her turning the stick all the way to the left to turn it. By the time I got the controler out of her hand it was to late and she was diving fast! I could not have been worse. I have a couple 2 chan planes think I will let her try them! I am getting another challenger because I really like the way it flew. I did learn my lesson about letting control of the plane go to my daughter until I get a little better. I did think maybe I should have got the commander though? But i picked up the 2 chan planes pretty quick and thought the commander might be to small a step up. I may have been wrong but we will see when I get the challenger back up in the air.
