RE: Beginner pilot.
Few more things.
Make sure the batteries are fully charged before flight. Flight battery and transmitter battery. Do a range check. go about 75 to 100 feet away from the airplane and with the antenna down you should have full control of the flight surfaces.
If the wing uses rubber bands for mounting use 10. 4 on each side front to back and the last two diagonaly to lock them all in.
