Default RE: Advice on a 2nd plane

on an impulse buy on my way home from work I got the sky fly 2..........and I am glad I did because the first flight was an EPIC fail! I put the control horn to the closest hole to the surface and it turns out that it gives it WAY too much movement and I ended up doing a wonderful wingover nosefirst into the ground. It is fixable with a new wing and servo mount but had that happen to the electristar I would be still picking up splinters and cursing myself. oh well I guess more practice it is with the new skyfly...and for the record the sky fly 2 is a much much better plane then the original out of the box 1 more cell and a diffrent prop plus the diffrent wing makes it fly much faster and the control is way snapier then the orig skyfly....it uses real 3 wire servos and not just a circut board with fixed hardware all on it...so now I will fly with the horns on the outter most holes and report back. I am a lil embarased to say the least but oh well I learnt.
