Come on please somebody im a first time flyer here and i want to know what to expect

I don't have any experience with this plane, but it looks to be a good stable plane.
It is a bit on the expensive side. Have you considered a Slow Stick? It's not as pretty, but it's inexpensive, durable, and makes a great first plane.

yeah but i wanted something that looks like a plane and not a stick

thanks

David, maybe Jason's got a point. A Slow Stick may not look much like a plane, but neither will your Sunny Boy after the fifth or sixth crash. If you're trying to teach yourself, crashes WILL happen. I know that the Slow Stick can take a good bit of abuse and still be made to fly after many repairs.

It might be better to learn to fly on a plane that's easy to fly, and then fly one that's easy to look at.

David, do you have someone experienced to help you learn how to fly?
If so, get the Sunnyboy. If not, please take into consideration some of the advice and knowlege that RCU has to offer.


I am one of those pilots that taught themselves to fly. I nearly gave up several times out of pure frustration. I also wasted close to $500.
I spent $110 on a beautiful Cessna 180, and promptly crashed it on the first flight. I was able to repair it, but the plane was totaled beyond repair in less than 10 flights. 3 more planes followed before I started flying more than crashing.

If you want the Sunnyboy, get it. But spend another $35 and get a SS for the first few flights. I can almost guarantee that you'd feel better crashing an ugly $35 plane, rather than a beautiful $125 plane.
Good luck

Jason
