dude i just got my first plane, a Goldberg superchipmunk and usually i am the kinda person who says ahh, that dont look so hard, but i tried takin her on the first flight got about 20 foot in the air she rolled upside down and smashed a tree now as much as i would want to disagree and be able to say i did it my self, i taught myself how to fly, i know now after about 70 dollars in repair's (new wing kit) i dont want to take that chance again, believe me its worth the A.M.A. membership fees to fly at most fields, they are having a new memebership thing that is on $19.99, now would you rather have lost 20 bucks or you 200-500 dollar plane????
