All the Hobbico trainers are built well and fly well.  If you want an ARF, you
can't go wrong with one of them.

On 4/22/2004 8:53 AM Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these
great (and sometimes not so great) words of knowledge:

I learned on a SuperStar with an OS 46 FX, 11x7 Master Airscrew prop
(the black one).  As your skill improves, switch to an APC - it will
provide better performance.

You want to set ALL the control surfaces to minimum throw PRIOR to its
maiden flight.  I found the recommended throws to be extremely
sensitive.  The first thing my instructor told me was to set ALL the
throws to minimum (as close in on the servo as you can and as far out on
the control horn as you can.)  Again, as your skill improves you can
increase the throws.

The plane is well built, flys very well, is quite forgiving and stable.
 As with any flat bottom airfoil, watch the wind.  The plane is also a
"floater".

A very fine airplane.Numerous ones at our club and they all are great
fliers.In fact I have a friend in La that has one for sale with two
flights.Even has all the field equipment with it for $300.Talkin' bout a
steal.
