Easy answer, you are reading posts by 2 different people.. some from me, some from my roomate who also happens to be my brother. We use the same account on not only RCU but Wattflyer and Flying Giants. Since we have lived together since we turned 18 weve always used the same account. Never ran into a problem. If you need me to run down the posts ive made and my brother has made i will. He flies glow and only owns 3 electric models (besides the million foamies we have out of FanFoldFoam and Depron) now and I fly glow and electric models. Chris who learned on an Avistar around 3-4 years ago and who got me intrested in R/c shortly there after. I (Mike, if you must know) soloed on a UcanDo.

IMO the you can do is stable enough to learn on. Not to mention ive flown the rebuilt version of the avistar and the Ucan lands slower and easier.

Edit: I should have mentioned everyone learns different also. I have a friend who taught himself after using a sim and some small electrics untill he went to glow , My brother learned on an avi and i learned on a Ucan W. a Sim.. anymore questions feel free to Pm me as to not hijack this thread and take away from the original poster
