Yes.. make sure someone video tapes it. You will want to remember those 7 seconds while it's still intact.  |

I can speak from experience. Brick buildings aren't forgiving.  |

Agreed, get all the cool close up pictures of your craft before you fly it the first time! It'll never look the same, even after the repairs!

Re: Remote Control Airplanes anyone?
Good luck!  You'd be better off training on a high-wing craft before you wreck the A-10. There are some good trainers out there for about $100 bucks. The ducted fans are great, but they're definitely fast.... pics please..

ive flown some of those two channel high wing ones and had it pretty down, only thing that made me crash that was a rediculous gust of wind, which i would not go flying this thing on a windy day, i have a pretty good understanding of how planes handle from flying real planes for over two years, and even though this is a ducted fan one, it was recommended for begginers so i figured id give it a shot hte price was unbeatable also, and id defintly take it real easy before id try anything crazy with this, as soon as i get it ill post somepics up, but here is a pic from the site....

Re: Remote Control Airplanes anyone?
You'll probably be alright then. Does that one have aileron control also? Where did you buy it from and how much? I used to fly planes, but that was years ago when gas ones were more prevalent.... I've got myself a couple electric helis that I'm learning on but was thinking about getting back into planes....
