lesson learned at the cost of $50. I bought a HFR seabird off ebay, and got it a month later..was suppose to have plastic wings "wrong" anyway first flight was a hand launch which went about 25 feet did a hard left bank that I could not correct for and nose dived which broke the wings off. but I didn't expect much more from it... it has no controls except for the motors which you change the speed of them to control it basically. I am still happy because I am looking at my New Nexstar which I hope to make its maiden flight next weekend"with trainer" Basically to all the newbies check things out before you by. PS.. there are alot of great people on here listen to them you will go far....
