Great plane to learn on. My brother and I taught ourselfs to fly with this one. Goes together quick and strong like an ox. Almost indestructable. It does not handle the wind well. My experience is fly in calm winds. Good luck.

This site can help select optimal flying conditions about three days in advance:

Just enter your state and location. Good luck with your flying!

This is a great airplane. I'm a longtime R/C flier and bought one just to keep around for fun. I've enlarged the rudder and installed a brushless motor. It's a great sailplane and handles light winds fairly well, in my estimation. I also used one to teach my 12 year old grandson to fly. It is very forgiving.
