Default RE: Which plane for a beginner?

But is the P51 Mustang good? < not good for learning on!! [X(] It can be tricky to keep it straight on the runway while getting up to takeoff speed. It flys fast and is sensitive to stick inputs, It will also stall, and start spinning toward the ground if you slow the plane down too much. Also, sorry dude but the location looks rather poor. I see trees in the way everywhere!! If you flew the plane past the tree line you would lose sight of it over the trees. RC flyers soon learn that trees can move even faster than the planes to swat the planes out of the air. And it only takes 1 tree to get your plane. Based on the new data you have provided I would suggest finding an RC club that has a better field. []
