That's the really sweet thing about this hobby to me. You can buy planes that can be in the air the same day you take them out of the box and that's perfectly fine. Or do it slow; it's your choice. It is easier now than it has ever been before to get in the air quickly with a capable machine and also have a great likelihood of successful flights. I just don't understand the desire to break stuff needlessly. You'll never hear a box trained pilot say that he would have done better without it, and you'll never hear a self taught pilot say that he saved time and money by not using the box. So why not take advantage of the technology that is available to help new pilots?
