If you've been doing any reading here on RCU, the biggest and best advice anyone can give you is to join a club, find an instructor, and learn to fly with him on a buddy box.

Is this your first plane?? If so, an EDF jet is too much airplane for you and you will only end up destroying it.

In your post you stated "does anyone have any tips on my first time flying so i don't break it"
If this is your first time flying an airplane you picked the wrong one.
A ducted fan jet is not even close to what most beginners can handle.
My suggestion to not break it is to learn to fly on something else that would be more forgiving.

You might try reading through this. This was designed to help with electric flight.
Good luck.

Hi whiteknightman23

I just noticed that back in February of last year you mentioned an interest in building a Flying Lawnmower. I designed and built one about 3-4 years ago and still fly it today. You can see it at http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_27...tm.htm#2722191. You can search for other photos under my name, villa.

You can download free plans from http://www.wilsonrc.org/news.php by clicking in the DOWNLOAD section. It is built fron COROPLAST which is a plastic cardboard like material. The S.P.A.D forum further down the main page discusses that type of building, and spadworld.net is the main sight for this type of construction.

My Flying Lawnmower is capable of rolls, loops, Cuban Eights, and inverted fligh,t etc. It is very simple to build and is tough as nails.

I don't think he's quite ready for a flying lawnmower yet.
