Parkzone type foamies ( with some exceptions ) are not similiar to larger RC planes.

While the Pulse XT is an excellent SECOND or THIRD plane, you may be best advised to stick with a more standard trainer configuration.

e.g. a Glow or Electric .40 - .60 sized trainer.

Trainers use tricycle wire gear with springs. The springs absorb the shock of hard landings to a great degree ( though novices STILL manage to break the gear! ).

The Pulse is a tail dragger, and the gear will rip out easily if not handled properly.

On most tail draggers, there are no sprung gear. The gear themselves act as a leaver if front to back force is placed on them, yanking the gear and the fuselage apart, causing damage.

So your landing skills should be fairly refined before moving on to a tail dragger.

This is just one reason why there is a logical progression to flying RC planes.

The Pulse can land slowly and is an excellent flyer, but it is not a "first" plane.
