Thanks for the advise everyone, I sort of wish I come on here before buying a plane as there is loads of threads on good training planes.
I think I should be ok as I have flown my helicopter for ages and not demolished it, I think the plane I ordered will be ok as an introduction but I will be online again looking for something more for begginers and experienced flyers which can also be upgraded.
I would have really liked a plane that could take off from the ground but with this one it looks like a hand launch, but there is no point in running until I learn to walk so I am really looking forward to it to arriving.
I spoke to the secretary of the Barnsley Flying Club, he invited me to a meeting next month so, I think I will go for that, its £52.00 per year to use the site which is locked off from the public.
Again thanks for the advise.
John
