Default RE: NOOB!!!

High wing trainer worked for me. (Hobbico Nexstar) I bought the select version that came with everything but found myself very soon after buying a Futaba 6EXA computer radio and a lot more models. I am suprised that no one has commented on the plane in the video you posted. I believe that would be a horrible mistake to start with as it would exceed your budget and your flight time would probably be shorter than the time it took to write the check for the package. I have heard great things about the Hangar 9 P-51 PTS (Progressive Trainer System) It would probably get you ready for that kind of plane you want faster as it is a low wing tail dragger that lets you take baby steps toward acrobatic sport flying. As stated I started with tricycle gear trainer and now have a hard time with tail draggers. (moment of silence for my Seagull Decathlon...) I believe it is important to humble ourselves an honestly consider our skill level when selecting an airplane as what we think we want may not always be best for us. (another moment of silence...)
