My first plane ( in a while)
I've been out of flying for about 5 years, but still played around w/ the simulators every once in awhile, and even more now and feel that my skills are about what they were when i stopped flying. I was at the point where i could fly reasonably well even in really heavy wind. I was flying an ugly stick 60 (forgive me if thats incorrect, its been a while) I am now looking at giving it another go , but this time i want to go the electric route. I've been looking at the Crazy Max and the Wattage Sukhoi-31. I know i can fly the crazy max, but I want the sukhoi. I was wondering what everyones opinion would be to get the sukhoi. I am thinking that either i'll just lose it, or i can tone it down and give my self a little time to relearn everything.
thanks
thanks

I think only you really know the answer. If you were comfortable flying in the past and have been using a simulator, you can handle it. Have someone start you out on a buddy box for the first flight.

Good advice find a friend who has the skills you know you will need to fly the Sukhoi. The buddy box will help you get your wings under you and maybe save a plane.
