Question about a plane
Now I don't have one of these, nor have I seen one fly, OK?
I do know that any RC plane without an elevator (for up/down) will NOT act like a real radio control plane and (contrary to what the ad says) will make a lousy trainer for you to use as a "stepping stone" or "cheap trainer" for getting into RC. Don't waste your money.
On the other hand, if all you intend to do is mess around with it at the local park, and you realize that it's a "toy" plane to just having fun with, go for it. (Shoot, it has the same flight controls as the popular Firebird).
Hint: without an elevator you will need to fly this in CALM winds only or you'll risk it flying away.
