RE: Advice/help for really NEW guy
Thanks for the kind words guys. I went to the local hobby shop today, and the guy admittedly didn't know much about planes. Spent a lot of time on two of the sim things there, and was surprised, I could fly and land pretty much anything I tried. I liked the 540 Edge. It was definitely ultra responsive, and more than I'm used to, but as long as I had enough altitude, I could recover from pretty much anything, and I can't believe how easy it was to land. I could pretty much drop the throttle completely off, and just use the elevator to land it super slow and gentle, right on the wheels. It seems fast, but can be flown slow. Is it too much for a park, even if it's a pretty big one? And what's the deal with parkflyers.com? Are those any good, where else should I look? I've heard good things about the Eflite Pulse (the blue one), what else would I have to get to fly it, if I got one of those? And the hobby shop guy told me the minimum controller he would buy was $200 and started listing features I had never heard of. Really, $200? That's kinda steep
