Default RE: flight sim vs real

thanks again, I think I might go electric for a first plane. I was looking at the parkzone f-27 stryker they seem to be pretty tough and really manuverable. the only thing I don't like is that it doesn't take off and land under its own power. any thoughts on it?
The chances of you having a succesful flight with that plane is very slim, I'm pretty sure that they advertise that plane to go over 80 mph. Not a beginner plane. Something like a hobbyzone super cub would be great for a first electric plane.

Check out the video below. I know it's not a stock stryker, but just to get an idea what this plane can do. You need some serious orientation skills to be able to know what the plane is doing and what it will do when you are going this fast.
