forestroke

phil - i was afraid you'd be new to rc flying. this is not the plane to start out on. trust me, you don't want to try this plane as a first plane because it is not a beginner's plane. after all the advice, the best piece of it is to get a real trainer. it may not look as good but it will definitely last longer. you can learn how to fly first then come back and fly this plane as a second or third plane. i'm sure a dozen people will chime in to tell you that learning on this plane would be like trying to learn skiing starting from the black diamonds (most difficult slopes). in otherwords, you'll get down quickly and most likely not in one piece!
