Default Well said and amen!

rcav8or told it like it is. The H9 cap 232 1/4 scale is not the best choice for ones first giant scale plane. I think too many folks jumped on this particular ARF because of the "fire-sale" by Horizon. Never mind if I really don't have the skill to fly it, I'll buy it anyway because they are practically giving them away. Problem is, when it is flight ready we are looking at an investment of $800 to $1000 or more, depending on the engine, radio equip, and accessories used. That is a pretty hard hit to take just because we couldn't pass up a $200 bargain, even though we lacked the skill to properly and safely control our "bargain".
