Flaps on a Great Plane Easy Sport 40
For a first plane, the Easy Sport can be overpowered. Anything more than a 40 FP say..
As for the flaps, you don't have to use them.
Lock them in place until you get some flight experience.
This mod typically enhances the roll sensitivity, as it moves the active area of the aileron out. You don't want this as a beginner.
Use a radio with dual rates, and fly first with a 50% setting on the ailerons.
There are more suitable planes to learn with.
