Get the Sky Fly 2, I learned how to fly all on my own with the original Sky Fly. The Sky Fly 2 has a couple upgrades over the original. It comes ready to fly and has really stable flight characteristics. I took it to a local flying field one day and one guy who happened to be looking for a plane for his 5 year old son to fly saw me flying the Sky Fly and was really impressed. He said he was going to get one for his son. Its a really durable plane and parts are cheap. A whole new wing is just $10. I've broken many wings in the process of learning and most of the time I was able to duck tape it back together.
