Default RE: Advice

The SuperCub is a great choice. Backyard Flyer magazine called it The Perfect Beginner Plane. Get a spare prop, some foam-safe CA glue, 5 minute epoxy, and clear packing tape. Wait until there is no wind and go fly!

If you are nervous following your poor experience, go to Toys-R-Us, Target, etc. and for $30 buy an Airhogs AeroAce (no substitutions). Its a small, easy to fly 2-channel plane that you will have a blast flying. It will also teach you about control reversal (when the plane is flying toward you you must move the controls in the opposite direction from what your intution tells you to do) and it will give you confidence to fly. The plane is virtually indestructable.
