Wow.. RCKen is right there, isn't he!!!! Hi Ken! Listen to what he has to say. Now there is an expert that you can quote. We were giving the same basic advice at the same time. There must be something to that. He is in Oklahoma and I'm in New Jersey. So, do yourself a favor and follow our lead on this. It will make all the difference between your dropping the hobby as being to difficult or expensive to having enjoyable flights.

WhenI started out, the only time Idamaged my trainer was when Ilanded a tad long and bent the landing gear. Now, I broke a few props, but at $2.00 each, that's not a big deal, but just a part of learning. You chance having a more catastrophic result if you run out of options and don't know what to do next during a landing.

Best of luck!</p>
