Ok so maybe this will help..... It seems like a few of you are wondering my past experience on flying. I started out with an aerobird extreme..... Got the hang of that then moved up to a wattage cessna 180 rtf. It was a much different flyer than the aerobird extreme but I got the hang of the cessna to. Then I'm up to where I'm at now wich is the gws slow-stick. Maybe that will help a little.
