ORIGINAL: KRL
I will be joining the RC airplane world for the first time after I get back from the holidays. Have on order the EDF F-35 foam plane that's presently on sale at nitroplanes.
I can GUARANTEE that your F-35 will have a lifespan measured in seconds after takeoff since you are using it as your first plane.
It is NOT suitable for a beginner, nor a buddy box.
That is a fast highly responsive plane that is extremely sensitive to trim and setup.
It is better suited to an intermediate to advanced pilot.
Do yourself a favor and put it away until you have a trainer and at least another mid level plane under your belt.
