[&:]Hi, I am ABN to RC flying. (Almost Brand New) The only thing I have flown before is a couple of blimps. I Just purchased a Wing Dragon RTF EP Airplane and was wondering if anyone has some input on this plane or just learning how to fly a beginner plane in general. The plane is a three channel hi wing with a single prop and I believe rudder and elevator control. Thanks in advance for any help.[:-]

The Wing Dragon is a great beginner. It's a 3 channel system with elevator and rudder. I've crashed mine several times and it's still flying.

The only problem I've had was a servo failure, but they give you two extras in the kit.

Have fun!!!

I love my Wing Dragon. It's great for a beginner, easy to fly and tough. Most important advice: At the start, give yourself plenty of room to fly in, and fly in little or no wind. Don't turn too close to the ground - get some height, then use small stick movements, watch carefully what happens until you know what to expect. It's not a bad idea to get a lot of height, throttle right off, then control the plane in the glide before you use power again. Things happen more slowly in this gliding mode.

Also, at the start attach your control rods to the holes in the control horn that are furthest from the control surfaces. This will mean the control surfaces move less. As you get better, move them in to the inner holes, for more aerobatic ability.

Soon you will be looping and flying upside down.

There are some other forums here that have some good advice on Wing Dragon.

You will really like the Wing Dragon.... I fly a lot of other planes and I still like flying this one!!!
