• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

I suggest you get a high-wing trainer, cessna type. Easiest to learn with. Up-swept dihedral is best for first timers. By having up-swept dihedral you can basically let go of the controls and it will self-right itself to more level flight. Also, the wider the chord (front to back of wing) the better for stability in all conditions.

Another thing to keep in mind. The aircraft you are looking at, they are made with styrofoam and plastic. If, and when you crash it is repairable with a little work. But, they generally break in a bazillion pieces.
