Great info. I do pretty good on a cpu trainer. I can run my rc truck on a track very well and fly a quad copter ok but so far I've crashed two planes. The second one was a 15 second flight with a nose first crash and battery fire. Talk about crash and burn! Think the wind is my major problem. 5 to 10 mph most days where I live. Not gonna give up.

Would also recommend any new pilot build their first planes from dollar tree foam board. It teaches you a lot about how to build and repair plus if you wreck hard your only out about $5 dollars in materials. Check out Flite Test or Experimental Airlines on you tube for plane ideas/plans.
