I've tried to fly RC planes several times over the course of my life. All times were met with failures and crashes.
Started with Phoenix simulator about a year ago, moved up to a hobbyzone supercub last spring (that I still have and it survived learning and still works great).
And today I got my Apprentice, opened box, charged battery, checked adjustments, flew successfully about 24 hours after I bought it online on Amazon and Red Rocket Hobbies.
It was almost too easy after all these years!
Find a big field though, it flies so well and fast you'll be covering a lot of ground right away.
