So any one here know of another great plane of the same quality? I was looking at the slow poke but I am not sure if how it flies. Is it an easy plane to fly? Thanks for any help
Sorry to hear about the loss of your plane. The correction is to roll and not use elevator to recover. When the plane goes past the sun try using the transmitter to shield the sun (hold it up over the sun) and you will have less chance of being blinded.
As far as the Slo Poke it's a really fun plane but normally comes out tail heavy which is really a bad thing for an experienced pilot and all but fatal to the novice. Maybe the 3rd plane? I recommend the Sig MidStar as a second plane. Others like the derivitaves of the "stick" and the low wing 4* Sig series is also good. No matter what plane get help from an instructor.
