Thanks for all the advice guys... And the guy at my local hobbie store told me the same thing you guys are telling me... put the corsair away for now and learn on a trainer... well I am doing just that... I got a trainer in mind a thunder tiger plane with a 40 inch wingspan that I am going to learn to fly on first... Its cheap and comes with everything I need to get it in the air. the impression I am getting is that these birds are harder to fly than I previously thought.

And just letting you know, my corsair is an ARF and I dont really care if the plane doesnt sound the way a real corsair would... Just as long as it flys and has a reliable engine that wont cut out in the air. Did I mention I love speed lol. Also I am looking for something that is low in maintance (that is if i dont crash it)... So I will probably go with the 2 stroke... The thought of having a whole lot more moving parts in the 4 stroke just sounds to me like it's just more problematic... why get a 4 stroke when It could just give me a big headache in the future...

So what do you guys think of my choice of trainer? I'll look into the ones you guys already recommended and check them out too before I jump into buying one...
thanks
