I'm going to answer the OPs question regarding an opinion of the plane.

IMHO, you get what you pay for. If you examine the plane closely, you will see that it is only two channels - Throttle and Rudder. What that means is that you don't have elevator control. Turns rely on the rudder and the throttle. Attitude relies on the throttle. To increase elevation, you have to add throttle. The plane will only come down as fast as it will glide down. The result is very poor control characteristics. Basically, you only prevent the plane from crashing. It will not be capable of doing any aerobatics, which I'm sure you'll want to do.

Secondly, its probably a 27mhz radio, which is a common toy car/truck frequency. Don't fly it anywhere near a park where people are playing with RC Cars/Trucks/Boats. You're likely to get hit and lose the plane.

We've had club members try these types of cheap foam toys at our field, and while they will fly, they're boring. You'll quickly tire of flying it and want to move into a 3 or 4 channel plane anyway. Extend your budget a little and look at the supercubs or the (Hobbico?) Ventura.

Make your first flight attempts without power. Just throw the plane and look at its glide path. Make adjustments to get it to glide. When you have the plane set up to glide for 75-100 feet without any input from the transmitter, you're ready to try powered flight. Go full throttle and toss the plane just like you were when you were gliding. When you're ready to land, kill the throttle, and hopefully you've got the trims set to let the plane glide safely to the ground. Keep the plane up wind as much as possible to reduce the possibility of getting blown away or not making it back to your starting point. These small park flyers are notably underpowered, and will not be able to move upwind in anything more than a gentle breeze.

If you're going it alone, PLEASE stay away from people, cars, buildings, etc. You will crash. If you hit someone or something, you make a bad name for the rest of us.

Good luck,
Brad
