If someone had lots of experience driving rc cars and put in time on a plane simulator would it be possible to learn with a slow foam wing. I just do not like the idea of a underpowered "slo stick" or equivalent. The wing appeals to me because the prop is in the back. Usually in a crash the nose hits first and the wings appear to be pretty tough. If I am dreaming ........tell me

the parkzone stryker b is fairly cheap and pretty tame on low rates, if you could learn to fly it then you would have something to fly aerobatics with later on, I had an original stryker and it would circle the field inverted with a little power to spare, they are fairly tough and they sell all the parts to them, or look at the white supercub, its made by parkzone or hobbyzone, I forget which, horizon hobby carries that stuff at good prices. I run cars, boats, fly planes(aerobatics, and 3-D), and helis...so from someone with some expierience the stryker is a good plane but if you'll be teaching yourself to fly then the supercub may be a better way to go, I believe it had the anti-crash thing which Id say learn with it turned off, it will mess you up later on down the road. the thing about most any wing is that they are a very aerobatic capable, and arnt self leveling designs...

I've seen people who have driven RC cars trying to learn to fly planes, and I've seen people trying to fly their Strykers who have spent time on a simulator.

I can't say either was very successful--lots of rebuilding and frustration. Your experience may vary.

As long as you've got a safe place to fly, you could always try the wing and if it's too much for you, you could get yourself one of them 'beginner' planes.

Try an easy star if you can't learn on it then you ain't going to learn .That's my 2 cents. I'v tried a few trainers or so called trainers and finally found the easy star .I'v since moved on to 4 ch. sport elec. with out a hitch.Still fly the easy star as it's just relaxing and so easy to fly.
