That was a good point about the wheels.. I missed that one.. You'll be fine with the stock on a paved tarmac though.. Yeah, the problem fastsky is refering to is a consideration, but not really a big one.... See, normally if you set the plane up for dual rates, you'll set the mechanical throws up for a lot more travel than if you were setting it up for a trainer without dual rates... If you use a "buddy box" radio or a cheapy radio with NO dual rates on it for the buddy box (when you fly with a trainer cord, the INSTRUCTOR will be using your 7CAP, you will have to have his radio or another radio for the "buddy box"... If that "buddy box" doesn't have dual rates on it too, or isn't set up for them, then even if your 7CAP is set for low rates, and the instructor pulls the trigger, you'll have the plane with full high rate throws on... If your "buddy box" has dual rate switches too though, then you'll be able to flip between rates just as your instructor will be able to flip. Your right though. you can always focus more on those once you learn to fly better... You'll have enough to worry about in the beginning...

As far as having a "problem" with the left stick... I kinda doubt it... I learned to fly planes originally, and then moved onto heli's... What you find is a lot of "plank" guys actually use the left stick very little... Hell, it's amazing how many think the throttle is just that thing you push forward to fly and pull back to land... When I started getting into aerobatics I thought my "mastery" of the left stick was pretty good... Once I jumped to heli's I realized how little I had actually been using it all along...

Bottom line? Becoming a heli pilot has actually made me a MUCH better airplane pilot because I focus much more on BOTH sticks... I would imagine your initial "struggle" may be the reverse of mine... I occasionally found myself wanting to pull back on the elevator to gain altitude, or push forward on the throttle/collective to pick up speed... I would imagine you'll find yourself occasionally doing the opposite and pusshing up on the throttle to gain altitude and pushing forward on the stick to pick up speed... Interestingly enough, those two actually work much better for a plane than the reverse does for a heli... I think you'll find it's much less of a problem that you might expect...
