RE: 3rd flight ever... aerobird extreme... no survivors
My very first plane was an aerobird, and basicly all it did for me was to introduce me to the hobby. It is not very easy to fly compared to a good .40 size trainer. And also I got tired of buying wings at $15 a pop. As IMREC stated the plane has a bad tendency to go into a death spiral if you are not careful and it is almost impossible to recover from.
