RE: Is this a good 1st model???
I agree with raideron.
At 1650mm wing span (65 inches for us US folk) using a 40 or 46 engine, this should be a good trainer.
Maybe someone that has actually flown it will chime in here. Also try doing a search for it here on RCU. You nenver know what you will find
Oh, BTW...welcome to the addiction and madness and also RCU
