I've never flown a plane what do you recommend? I have become very good at my blade msr x and my mqx. Thanks in advance

Don't buy this then LOL. Get the blade MCX for orientation, then get better at you mqx, then a plane. For your first plane try a micro cub or a p51. Yes they are twitchier than a large plane, but CONSIDERABLY less expensive to repair after a crash.

This little Habu is not the same as flying a helicopter. And it can reach a speed close to 50 mph! Your acquired skills in flying a helicopter will certainly be helpful, though. I'd go to the Horizon Hobbies site and pick out a trainer with an AS3X system which will self correct itself in many ways. Still, AS3X will NOT fly the plane, but helps to stabilize it when wind threatens to throw your aircraft around the sky. I believe they also have a plane or two with a 'SAFE' system which is supposed to help beginner flyers. Better yet, call Horizon Hobbies and they'll recommend the right plane for you. They're very helpful that way. This little Habu is not the same as flying a helicopter. And it can reach a speed close to 50 mph!

This is not a beginner airplane. The better choice for a beginner is the champ and it is sold by the same company that makes the carbon cub. I have had a champ for three years and it has never broken. My friend who also owns one had to do something really stupid to break it. The champ is the way to go.

Buy a quality unit such as Align TREX or Eflight Blade. The 450 size is good to learn on, so stay in that size range. The Hausler parts are much lower quality and when you fix it you will realize the difference. I own two of these and neither flies anymore.

Yes this plane is outstanding for a begginer, That was the reason I bought it. I have tried 2 other begginer planes that cost more money and have not lasted half as long. I have crashed a few times and had to use some foam glue(not super glue) to get the plane back to flying but nothing major that needed me to buy replacment parts for the plane. I have nose dived into the ground, hit a fence a few times even hit a tree and the plane is still flying great. The controller is simple and will not confuse a new flyer, the gyro system in the plane is great and will keep the plane level while flying. Hope this answered your question and if you have more feel free to askVR James Yes this plane is outstanding for a begginer, That was the reason I bought it.

About 6 years ago I had bought a blade 120 (I think that was the model) and got bored of it very quick....I started looking again going on what I had remembered years ago and bought the V912....a bit out of my league but I've learned to fly it and haven't crashed it yet.....if you take your time you shouldn't have any problems...

would also like to add, banggood.com is a place to get parts. also ebay. but most come from over seas so order a few extra, it takes 3 weeks. main motors (burn out) blades (break) and main shafts (bend) from hitting things, thats the most items i have ordered. and get extra batteries 200mah gets you more air time. and after you get experience and want to fly out side. wl v912 is a great start. look up some videos on youtube.

Anyone in the world can fly a syma 107.... anything duel bladed is way to easy, wanna start getting into collective pitch helicopters start off with something like the blade 120sr its big enough for outside yet small enough for indoors. Its not very expensive and is ideal for getting into helicopters like these

Yes and it is actually a very good plane for a beginner. You could go on Ebay and get an older Stanley plane and do a refurbish job on it, however, I would not recommend that for a beginner. This is a good, solid and very usable plane (one of my "go to" planes" Get on Youtube and learn to do "scary sharpening" with sandpaper and you will have a plane blade you can shave with and a plane with will leave the wood glassy smooth. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

I love this plane. I bought it for my dad, but now i find myself flying it as much as possible. It is extremely easy to fly and land as well. We've crashed it a few times but it is easy to fix with tape or glue. Dont expect to do any barrel rolls or loops, it is just a nice and easy flyer. It was worth the money and i plan on buying another one for myself. I would also recommend buying some spare batteries, you only get about 8-10 minutes on one full charged battery.

Use a DX6i or DX5e. they are both good controllers tht are compatible with this airplane

I would recommend going to a Blade MSR First....it is the next step (intermediate) from a coaxial heli like the Syma 107.....I started flying Heli's back in November on the coaxials (syma). Then I tried the Blade MCX2 (which is a nicer version of the symas.). Then went to the blade MSR which is more advanced, yet you can always let go of the control sticks and it will go back to hover. With the Collective Pitch heli's, such as the nano, you cannot get away with that. I am now love the nano and it is my favorite to fly, but you need to work you way up to it.

Not sure I understand your question but I will ad this comment. I returned this plane almost immediately as servers did not function properly and are not interchangeable. Plane did not come ready to fly as advertised. Kids were very disappointed that it did not work.......Perhaps you will have better luck.....Also, very little help from local hobby shops, as this brand is not very popular. Good luck.

I think one can be had for around $30.00 However the mcx controller should work I have the old yellow mcx and a few park flyer's ( airplane, Champ, T-28, P-51) I can use plane controller with heli and heli with plane controller. If this will be your first 4ch get you the wltoy's v911 its very tough and if you do break something parts are cheap check out Banggood.com you get every thing you need to get in the air under 40 bucks

I believe that anyone can fly this plane. I have been flying planes and helicopters for a few years now and this is one of the best planes I have bought for the price. Make sure you buy some extra batteries ( I bought a 4 pack of 180 mAH 3.7v) and I'm glad I did because I have even more fun flying. But back to the plane. You also need a controller that is compatible with the aircraft ( something like dsmx 2 technology) what's good about this plane is that if you break it you can buy basically any part required to fix it. It is pretty durable if you take care of it. Definitely a great buy and we'll worth the money... also it can fly in pretty gusty winds for how light weight it is. If you or someone you know is a beginner, tell them to get this plane

Do whatever you feel comfortable with...REMEMBER you have to BALANCE the plane for any MOD to fly properly!

this is not a beginner plane. I strongly recommend finding an AMA qualified field and instrustor to teach you how to fly first. If you have the basics down, then invest in one of the new Spektrum radios. I have the DX6 and it will bind to an infinate number of planes. The radio is only $200 and well worth the investment. I currently have 10 planes and 4 hellicoptors bound to it, not to mentions real flight similator. Sorry for my mispells, it is late in the evening for me. If you are truly new to the hobby, please buy a trainer first and find an instrustor. This hobby can be dangerous and I would hate to be banned because of a newbie decapatating a pedestrian. this is not a beginner plane.

This was a Mode 2. It is really "twitchy" when flying. I personally like the Blade 300X much better being a tad larger and the ability to set it up as a beginner, if needed. mCpx V2 are just two hard to fly unless you are an absolute EXPERT. Choice is yours, but me I would not buy another one. Hope this clarifies a few things.
