RE: New to RC Flying, need input
Yeah, I definitely agree with the above. You have the basics of RC, something that most do not. You know left from right in both going away from you and coming toward you. That's a big step for many to overcome, which is a big help. But, there are many differences when getting into the three dimentional of flight.. not just forward, backwards, right, left, but now add up and down to the mix and you have a difference that needs some training.
It may not take you long to get the idea and get the hand-eye coordination, but it will take a few flights on a trainer with an instructor. Spend the time and get it down before you spend your money on something that may not last very long.
Remember, electrics are delecate because of the required weight to fly correctly. If you have a glow trainer available to you, use it and learn that way. You can then move to whatever you wish (within reason) for your second... or your next plane.
