Hello all,
I live across from a park that has an rc airfield. So, I was on ebay last night and decided to buy a plane. Of course, I didnt do much research prior. I know its dumb but I'm impulsive.

Anyway, I got a firebird freedom for $46 + $15 shipping. The auto-crash control isnt working on it but other than that its fine. I am fully prepared to accept it if I destroy this thing on first flight.

I am gonna try and go for the first time when the local club is out there. Maybe get a guy to look at it and try it out before me.

Let me know if what else I should do or any tips. I plan on joining AMA.

Thanks,
Drew

DVW,
Welcome to the hobby. And good luck. Getting an experienced flyer to help your is probably the one thing that will help you succeed in flying.

Keep us posted on your progress.

You're on the right track, DVW. Welcome to R/C!

Auto-crash control? Seems like every plane I've owned has had one of those. I take off and it immediately tries to crash [:@] or maybe it's just me .

Welcome to RC and RCU.
