Default RE: New flyer

Don't worry about the 3 bladed prop. It will take you further than you will ever imagine. Just take your time, if you can afford it get a simulator, I use Realflight G2. It will help tremendously, and give you a fix on the rainy, windy days that are coming. You will really like that plane, you can do quite a bit with it. Have patience, the head takes a short while to train the hands to do what you want them to do. I had the toughest time learning how to do a figure 8 inverted, but you just have to do it. I would work at it a little at a time, going inverted and seeing how long I could hold it without flipping it over or starting to go too low, then a little at a time, I was able to start and do a 90 degree turn, etc. In the meantime, I flew hundreds of touch and go's, and full landings to where I would have to taxi to the downwind end of the runway to take off again. You will have fun. That's an order....
