I'm sorry, I really hate to bad-mouth someone's new toy, but [&:][&:][&:], I too made the mistake of buying this thing back when I was still trying to learn to fly RC. I was already working with a real glow Trainer but I thought I would get something cheap that I could go to the park with by myself whenever I wanted to & not be too terribly bummed if I crashed it. It didn't take long to figure out that these things are pretty much just toy junk!! It flew ok the very first day I flew it in about an 8 mph wind or so but after that on calm days I never did get it to fly again. Same thing over & over again. Throw it into the wind (for what it was worth) at full throttle & watch it glide straight to the ground in about 20 to 30 ft of distance. I finally go so disgusted with the stupid thing that I gave it away.
