I guess it was a bad day for me.... The flier could not make it.....
I do not know what to do right now...
I am thinking that I can upload pics of my plane..may be you guys can see and point out and structural flaws ( if possible to pint out from a pic )..
I was inspecting my plane today and I feel that vertical stabliser is little bit curved..
Or may be I ll keep this on shelf and buy a new one.. Which is the best plane for a newbie ?

buy a old fashion trainer from greatplanes, H9 or World models. they have very good instructions. and are easy to fly. buy a 2 stroke engine.
And I promise you that you will have so mutch more fun with flying.
Good Luck

A GWS Slow stick is Electric, cheap, almost impossible to break, once it is trimmed it will land hands off, has huge wheels and will take off in about 2 meters so it can be flown almost anywhere. It ain't pretty but you will end up with a lot more time in the air.-BW

Chasni, I would recommend getting the regular Slow Stick (click here) as opposed to the Pico Stick. The Slow Stick has larger wing span (46.3 inches, Pico Stick has 41.3 inches) and a much larger wing area (505 square inches, Pico Stick has 237 square inches). Also from the pictures it would appear that the Slow Stick has much more dihedral than the Pico Stick. A of this means that the Slow Stick will be more stable in the air and easier to fly. I have a Slow Stick and once in the air and trimmed right, as Bonified Wingnut said, it will fly hands off.

Flemflam-I was seriouis when I said that it would "LAND" hands off. My cousin has one with floats on it and when it is trimmed right you can cut the throttle let go of the sticks and it will glide down and settle right on the water with no input(on a calm day).-BW

The one thing that bothers me most is you say it won't move on asphalt but does on concrete.That doesn't make any sense at all. After looking at the plane they are lieing to you about it can fly, they also say made for 3D flight that's also a lie. Top wing aircraft are not considered 3D craft. Any how it seems like it's underpowered as well as tail heavy. Get some weight in nose. Maybe get a better motor those RTF are far from any good. What radio are you using and how are your throws set up?

Thats great that transmitter and reciever should work fine for small electrics like a Slow Stick...the servo's should work fine too unless they are glued into the plane. If they are I would get new ones.-BW

I don't know how much that is in American dollars but that's the plane. Apparently without a power system. If the price is right for you I would get it and try to find a 200 watt brushless esc/motor combo.
Similar to this one.-

You also might need a lipo battery - a two cell 1300 mah would work fine- and a charger. I don't know what came with the plane you have, or it it's battery would work. I would try myself to find you a set in India but if you are going to get into this hobby some times the search for what you need is as important as finding it. You will learn a few things while you are looking for parts.-BW
