I purchased an Aerobird challenger and had my first ever flight today. i've got no previous RC experiences except for a few goes at rc cars.

Anyway I had 6 successful flights today. Only mishap was hand launching the plane. Once i didn't throw hard enough and the thing banked left and nosed in with no damage. Although i did find a loose screw in the fuse which is a bit disconcerting. Anyway on my first ever flight i just gave it a bit of up elevator and a bit of left rudder and cored up to over 200' and just did a couple of laps. Then started to do loops, aggressive turns, dives, touch and goes all on the first pack. Even landed on the wheels in a baseball diamond many times.

It's a relatively cheap kit and almost flies itself!
