I will have to agree with everyone that has posted so far. I purchased a Phoenix Decathlon ( the brother of the Seagull ) and it is a handful. I have a six channel programmable radio and have used the mixing and coupling functions to finally get this aircraft flying. It is extremely sensitive on the ground ( sometimes referred to as squirrelly) and hare to handle. If the mixing is not done correctly and with caution you will find you have a runaway missile on your hands. Get a trainer such as the Avistar or Eagle 2 and find you someone to help you fly. My neighbors have finally learned to fly and are having a great time. I have helped with the lessons and repair of the aircraft during this time of learning and that is what you need at this point. Later you can fly the Decathlon when yo get enough experience .
