Default Re: New forum - New to modeling?

You're going to learn that there's alot more to it, than just what you heard. And you sound just a
little impatient with your progress. Larger airplanes fly easier than smaller, due to being able to see
the reactions to your control inputs. If you have been flying a plane with a 71" wing span, I'd say
stay with that size. A World Models Cap 232, 73" wing span with a Saito 150 is a good combo.
Or Hanger Nine's same size Cap. Anything smaller will be more difficult to fly, especially a low
wing.
If it's a matter of finance, and you don't want to wait until you can afford something bigger, look for
a flying buddy, if you don't have one, who will be willing to buddy-box train you with low wing
flying. We just don't want to hear or see you crash a new plane that may be more than your
exerperience calls for.
