There are some slow moving nitro planes that are more like a powered glider. They have very long wings and are easy to fly. This type of plane would probably have dificulty if its windy though. If you are talking about a plane called a Nexstar, its as fast as most of the other trainers. In other words 40 to 70 mph cruise. Its fine for learning on a box but plenty fast enough to get you in trouble if you are trying to learn on your own. Its a great feeling when the plane can still come home in one piece at the end of the flying day. YOu will feel like crap if you go it alone and the plane pan cakes into the ground in 30 seconds! Get some help. You won't be sorry![8D]
