Default RE: Hmmmmm, need help

Hi!
Fun thing this!
Are you kidding????
That Cessna is no good if he is a newbie! He will crash it in no time. Why? Brecause the airplane isn't as forgiving as a normal trainer These are the items that doesn't make it a good trainer.
It doesn have a a wing with enough dihedral. second the wing isn't thick enough (Thick wings fly better and are safer for a newbie) third all the scale pherefenalia on the plane is no good...may look good... but isn't for a newbie! These glassed windows (Will break in the first light crash), wheelpants (will hinder talke off and if the airplane evetually takes to the air...will be destroyed in the first hard landing...there are several more things about this airplane that makes it bad as a trainer but I stop here.
Here is what a good trainer look like. (Multiplex ARF electric trainer) or a wooden ARF trainer
(Kyosho Calmato).

Regards!
