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
He speaks the truth, but they are not that fragile either. My stryofoam Piper has taken several breaks, but epoxy fixes them right up with no adverse effects. Balsa, however, is a bit harder to fix. My mini piper was easy to learn on, and now I've finally learned how to fly the thing, easy aerobatics and slow (sometimes fast
) flight is what this is about. I've tremendously enjoyed it, you can check it out.
Get the FMS simulator that aeropal gave you, its free so the flight physics are lame, but the basics of flying toward you and control movements can get you started.
