Not a good idea. My son is now flying a Bridy Kaos 60 scale as his 3rd plane and is really enjoying it. I think because he is more patient and has learned from prior mistakes (New firewall,Props) He used a starfire 40 as his 2nd plane. Agree with going with a 4 Star ,Big Stick other symetrical wing plane and cut your teeth. The Kaos is easy to fly but it goes where you put it and will ruin your day if your not careful. Pete
