2 ch park flyer?
 

Will a cheap 2 channel park flyer give me any idea on how my glow trainer will fly?I have the FMS sim but want something more.

About as much as the bumper cars at the amusement park will give you an idea what it's like to drive a car. It will give a little bit of an idea what to expect, but there is still a lot of learning that will have to be done to fly a glow powered trainer.

What he said,, except on an opposite note, once you can fly your trainer, the cheap park flyer will be a no brainer and you may still want one for the back yard or parking lot up the street..the airhogs aeroace is a $30 bipe 2 channel toy (walmart) but it is a VERY popular toy, there are hundreds of posts on it between 1/2A and micro planes . but it would ruin you if you tried to learn it before you went 4 channel...full throttle is forward and up..right stick IS left and right but if you cut the throttle the plane wont turn it just starts to fall.....Rog

Nothin like deadstickin a 1/2A plane to a perfect bellyflop in the grass!!!

I have a 2ch electric and reallly didnt like it it gets messed around with the wind way toooo much for me and the 2 things i like (speed and arobatics) are vertually impossible with a 2ch electric i didnt like mine i have a firbird comander.. The only thiong it helped me with is a never confusd left/right when the plane is coming going or anything but its nothing compare to the real thing

I see what you mean about the wind.Took it to the ball field....had a couple nice flights with it then the wind picked up.......alittle packing tape is in order...I have this Hangar 9 Xtra Easy sitting here and reading the forums I'm afraid to fly it.

you need to find a field and some help is all, with a little instruction you will be surprised how easy it is to fly a glow trainer.
I would not recommend going it alone you are setting yourself up for failure and expense mostly expense, when I started flying when I was 14 there were not really any instructors, just a few willing guys to give you a hand sometimes if they felt like it between there own flying come to think of it almost never
I am 43 now and the club training programs that are around now are great, it's almost imposable to fail the sims that are available are a great tool to build confidence and they have a ton of planes to fly, isn't xmas close by I would put that one on my list .
