Couldn't be happier with this little plane! Wife got me one for Christmas and I have been loving it. The plane flies itself really. This is my first real RC plane and it has been an excellent one to learn on. TIP: I would recommend learning to fly it by taking it off. This will allow you to adjust the trim before it gets too far off the ground and does too much damage. And like HZ says, just let go of the controls if you become disoriented.

@Bladecommander1 you just cant fly, end of story

I would say not to bother with this little plane. On a normal day where I live, you'll have 4-5 mph winds. It makes it unrealistic to fly this thing. Maybe if you fly indoors...
Get a hawk sky. Its a much better plane to really train on. Simulators are also a better investment (try phoenix). Spending close to $90 on this is a waste IMO.

But now I got a airfeild 5 channel sky trainer 182 and will be doing a maiden flight soon

I gotta rebiuild mine, let's just say snapping a Wing in high mid flight was not the best for the little guy, I just need a : fusalage, wing, rudder/ elivator and rear landing wheel. And of course, stickers!!

@Bladecommander1 Sorry to hear that. None of our customers have had any complaints about this plane. This plane is a great choice for the beginner, and practically flies itself.

So I see the plane is kinda small but awesome flight characteristics. What would be a beginner plane, that can be flown in normal to bit heavy winds?

@Mark1Mach2 The Hobbyzone Super Cub LiPo would be a nice choice for normal to moderate winds up to around 15 MPH. The Super Cub is a very stable flyer. We only have 1 of them left in stock right now. If you're interested give us a call. (603)-879-0613.
Thanks.

Yes, It is one of the best dead calm flyers out on the market for beginners. Meaning is must be dead calm outside since it is small and light weight.

BEWARE OF FLING THIS PLANE IN STRONG WINDS! I had my first champ at full throttle into the wind, it hovered there for a while, then in one turn it literally blew away in the wind. I'm gonna be more careful this time, but still it's an awesome beginner plane and I'd recommened it to anyone wanting to learn rc planes.

@josh71111 Yes, Not a strong wind flyer at all, but makes a perfect trainer plane like you said. Attempting to fly this in anything over 4-5 MPH winds is futile.
