--sorry for english--[:-]

Never having flown RC before, 20 days ago i bought an aerobitd xtreme, the guy in the hobby shop said "is perfect for beginners..." the CD nad manual says "THIS IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS!"

I downloaded the flight model simulator, good sotfware but i was afraid and i didnt fly my xtreme,,, i saw a post here in this forum that says " the perfect plane for beginners is the aerobird chellenger,

i am living in costa rica, here the planes are too expensives. xtreme $300 and challenger $240... but i want to learn!

i said,, ok! this is my christmas gift.. and i bought an aerobird challenger!

the challenger is lighter and smaller! perfect for me!

We went this morning at 7 am with my brother,,, 2 perfects stupids in aeronautical.

checking the range...ok
checking wings, motor, and all this stuff..... ok

perfect,, i want to take off from the grass,,,,,, IMPOSSIBLE! the grass is too tall (3 or 4 cms)
throwing with my hands [] Scary,,, but is ok

i throw the challenger,,, in to the wind,,, and fly!,, yes! its flying!

!!!!! I AM THE MASTER OF THE RADIO CONTROLLE.......OOOOPS...... A TREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

crash! from 10 mts to the ground directly to a little puddle!!!, NOOO my $240!!! i mean my aerobird challenger! a little of sun, napkins and the plane is perfect!

no serious injuries

again!.... flying,, flying,, flying,,, 10 mts, 20 mts, 30 mts,,, how #$%% can i land my plane,, its too windy,,, i turn off the engine 2 or 3 seconds and the plane starts to lose altitude... great!

where is the best place to landing? here! the grass is smaller!

i like this hobby!

.... perfect landing,, i am happy,, my brother too.. and here are the pictures,,, sorry for quality (phone pics)
