I spend a lot of time at our LHS (I know, a lot of us do ) and do some part time work fixing whatever customers bring in that's broke
(mainly Monster Trucks )
Anyway...he sells a lot of those Firebirds, and E-Zone, etc. airplanes, but I've never actually seen anyone (besides me ) outside our club's field flying them.
I hear a lot of stories about the one and only flight into a tree/pole/ground
and a lot of guys telling me the same thing "It's a LOT harder than it looks" or, "It's a LOT harder than I thought it was gonna be"
I think a lot of these new "park flyer" airplanes lead a very short life, ya know what I mean?!
