Well, everyone has thier opinion. Reckon this is mine. I was given a PZ Super Cub this past Christmas. Been working in aviation for 31+ years and always wanted to try RC. Took the cub every place I went. Every time I saw an empty lot, or some field on the side of the road, I'd get it out and try to fly it. Crashed it 3 times......all by myself! Better than that, it made me want it even more.

I joined a club in March and started flying with an instructor in April. Solo flight shortly afterwards. Ya know, if it wasn't for that cub that my wife got me (everything you need to fly in one box for $160), I'd probably still be sitting in my office wondering what it might be like to fly RC. Now I can leave the office and go do it instead.

Don't rule out the 'cheap' planes. My wife could have gotten a WalMart jobber instead, but more than likely it would have produced the same result. What you fly isn't nearly as important as enjoying the flying. Don't loose sight of that. If I had read all these posts before I started, I probably wouldn't have.

You guys can have your opinion, that's gonna happen anyway and sure you're always welcome to voice that opinion, but at least give someone trying to break into this a chance. If you look closely, you'll notice that the OP never replied to any of the posts that followed his/hers. Oops there goes another one.................and by the way, the OP was asking about a recommendation on a plane to fly in 15 mph winds for about 50 bucks. Perhaps if you couldn't have, you shouldn't have. IMHO.
