Lossimon,

I took a look at that Wild Hawk...

Is this the same one? http://www.********.com/airplanes/wi...lane-about.htm

The plane is 3 channel, so it would be easy to fly...with no ailerons you dont have to worry about the roll axis. These planes typically will self right themselves and all you have to worry about is pitch and yaw to control the airplane. Generally, you increase throttle to climb, and decrease throttle to descend.

The downside...I wouldnt be crazy about the throttle setup on the transmitter. I generaly dont like the three channel transmitters that use a slide for the throttle in place of a typical left stick. This doesnt give you the opportunity to build the instincts that you need, and the transition to a typical transmitter when you get a larger plane could be more challenging. With the transmitter having no left stick, it also places the yaw axis on the right stick, which will be on the left stick with most other planes.

One other question to look at, how easy is it to get replacement parts. Check with your local hobby shop to see if they carry this aircraft. If they dont, they probably wont carry parts for it. While you can probably get them off the web, you typically dont want to wait two weeks or more for a 10.00 wing....

That would be my largest concerns with the Wild Hawk...it would get you flying, and you could start learning on it for sure...but there are a few better foamy electric trainers out there for not too much more than 80 bucks....


Good luck!
