One of my EAA friends happened to be there on the first day I flew it. He said, "I've known you for fifteen years, and I've never heard you laugh like that." One drawback to ALL of these is that the pitch control is backwards. The stick controls *throttle*, not an elevator, so you push forward to climb. But they all climb at their "normal" throttle settings, so you can ignore pitch control while you learn how to control direction. You're definitely out of the control for the first couple of flights...but that's most of the fun. Ron Wanttaja Thanks. Walmart is out of stock, but I did find a better price he http://marketplace.hgtv.com/View_Lis...d=1439-N608153 |
