RE: Firebird outlaw
They are very easy to fly.
They will help with the left-right orientation thing a bit.
But they do fly differently than larger glow planes.
And the problems with not being able to turn or get down NOW Aeajr talks about are real issues.
The transmitter is not "standard" RC gear, you won't be able to pull the radio gear out and use it in another plane later on. This might or might not be an issue.
So, it's not a bad thing, but it's not quite the same thing.
The R/E/T planes are a lot more like the larger RC planes
Btw, R/E/T = Rudder, Elevator, Throttle. R/T is Rudder, Throttle controls
