Learning how to fly a firebird will NOT provide you with the neccessary experience to fly other models.
Take the advice given go to the club FIRST and have them recommend some gear. They may even let you get a test flight first.
I'm not trying to knock your latest purchase but the firebird is without a doubt one of the worst ways to start out if you intend to be able to fly other planes.
thanks for the warning. the shop is but a few min. from me so I'll take it back. They aren't very helpfull in my area as to what trainer to get at a low cost. My wife is going to start pissin and moaning if I spend much more money on a trainer. I'm so new to this that I don't want to get the wrong things and have my first shot at this be to discouraging. Can I get some advise on what is the best electric trianer that would co-inside with the cessna? I don't really want to get another "gas" one to train on. sorry for the dumb questions and lack of knowledge to the sport
Thanks a ton.
