I would highly suggest a trainer. The park flyers are made really cheap, and a lot are made of egg carton type foam. They are very easy to break if picked up wrong, and easy to destroy when you fly into the ground. Like any other RC plane, they are not just something you can pick up and fly. They are not all that easy to fly. A lot of companies advertise them this way, but I think that is so they can sell a lot of parts. It is really false advertizing. You could start with a sim and learn it. That would help a lot. A .40 size trainer is a lot easier to learn on.
