Ok, so like an idiot I bought the ParkZone P-51D a while back after having zero RC flying experience and yes I crashed it several times (hence my callsign = P-51 pilot's callsign [X(] ). Anyway, I went to my local Hobbytown and purchased the highwing Sky Fly trainer and RealFlight G3. Now I have several hours under my belt with the Sky Fly and a ton of hours on G3 flying the Spacewalker. I really love the feel the Spacewalker has on G3 and have become pretty decent with my landings. I've also been flying it in about 5 to 8mph winds on G3. Am I ready to purchase a Spacewalker? Probably the Spacewalker II .40 ARF.

Oh and I plan on reapairing the P-51D. It's not in that bad of shape. I know, I'm a loser for trying it with no experience...my bad.

Don't feel bad. I've been messing around with planes for over 35 years and never had a successful flight. (Takeoff & landing) I've built alot of planes and repaired many of them. I've had several flights that were good, for a few minutes, but the ending was always the same. My biggest mistake other than not having an instructor, was believing that flying a plane with just a rudder and elevator was easy. Three days ago I downloaded the g3 demo. I plan on buying it soon. I believe my next flight will be a little more interesting.

Boys,
Learning yourself is way doable! It'll cost you a little more but doable. Long story short, my FIRST instructed flight ended up in destruction (i still think it was my instructor's fault... monkeyboy!) So I ran to the LHS bought new gear and started flyin in a subdivision that had only the roads and 3 FOOT WEEDS!!! So until I learned to land I would just cut the throttle and mush it into the weeds. A bottle of glow and a roll of tape and BOO YAH! Learned by myself!

Now for the record I would recomend getting hooked up with a club and an instructor. Your learning curve will be straight up!! Good luck and Git Er Dun!!!
