Would this be a good second aileron plane?

The carbon cub is an excellent beginner and intermediate plane. It has flaps and can fly nice and slow, but also had the power and agility to do some acrobatics. I think that this plane is a good choice for flying in smaller fields. Plus it is easy to glue and repair, and the parts are inexpensive and easy to find online and at hobby stores.

I have this plane and it is great. Full function of aielerons and flaps if you want them. I'm an intermediate flyer and had no trouble handling it.

It varies wildy based on skill level, but I think it would be alright. Just read up on how the flaps work and program them accordingly ahead of time. It's a tough bird, so even if you crash it the damage will be minimal--likely a broken prop.

I have yet to get a successful flight out of mine, and I've flown my night vapor and larger scale Sensei and home built foamies pretty well. Part of it may be this one being more sensitive to the wind. But I haven't damaged it... Yet.

I would have to check but I sadly would not recommend this plane. The front handle fell off 2nd use. The adjustment is sloppy and awkward. The depth knob is not pinned on so if there is any tension such asa adjusting on the fly the knob backs off rather then adjusting the blade. It will produce good shavings but the repeatability is an issue.

I don't know why but for $10, does it really matter? Don't over analyze it. Unless you are a top notch pilot, I highly recommend the guards. You could, I guess, plan on getting plenty of propellers, which may or may not be an DJI oem product....???

Also, a lot of people love this heli, and a lot of people love this heli but say the servos are weak, cyclic/tail. I fly in Houston summer weather. ESC and tail server do get hot, but I have got about 60+ flights with it, no issues yet.The devo 7 is a good radio. I like the feel of it. I did however upgrade to the 8s. You have got more options as to what you can fly with deviation software available now.

If you are new to 450 size and 3d flight, I think the RTF is good. I would recommend replacing the gyro. I replaced the stock unit with Spartan Quark and I love it.

As long as you use the tethered trainer mode until you get used to flying it. Otherwise, if I had it to do over I would have probably gotten the HobbyZone Super Cub (VERY basic flyer but can be modified for flaps once more advanced) or better yet the new E-flite Apprentice S 15e RTF with SAFE which is supposed to be a very basic flyer and advanced flyer all in one plane. I read up on the SAFE technology built into it and sounds very interesting.

This is a complete ready to fly RC plane. It is geared for the new flyer and the only thing extra you might need is a couple more batteries. I would recommend that you learn on a simulator and practice. Have a ball you will enjoy. If you have problems flying the first few times, spare parts are available. So to barrow the commercial, "just go do it".

It would be better to start with a 3 channel plan for a beginner. It is a great plane to move up to 4 channels.

Hi Stephen. Well it depends on how good you are flying it. I'm not a good pilot myself so I crash it a lot. It is capable of endure some crashes, but not all of them. Be prepared to spend some money on spare parts. On the other hand, I must tell you, this is not aún entry-level heli. It is up to you. Good luck

Well there are much better aircraft to lean with as this one will not take too many hard landings. You may want to look at the Vapor if you want something small. It is lighter and less likely to break if you have to land it a little hard.

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.

yes, but only if it were a very, very large room. The V11 is capable of great speed and agility. You'll need two well trained pilots to fly them in a tighter space.

The plane already comes with one battery. If u want another ine just reference the same battery it comes with. As for the transmitter, it is a good one and it should be a good match.

It is a very cool looking & fun plane, but takes some patience to learn to fly it as a beginner. Maneuvers pretty quickly due to all the wing surface and short fuselage. Go for it, but "learn" out in a non-wind day & big tall grassy area until you get used to landing it. Have fun!!

I haven't built/flown it yet. But I remember reading that the recommended motor is somewhat underpowered (a D-12 I believe). I would plan on putting in at least an "E" motor of some type. And you will want to beaf up the internal structure. I've seen these things fall out of the sky underpowered and I've seen them torn apart before they get that far. I don't think you will have to worry much about it going too high.

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 ask VR James

Honestly ,,, if you are going to spend a hundred bucks on a simulator I would just put another fifty with it and buy an mcpx . Sims are good for learning inverted control movements but can't compare to actually flying a machine . Find a grassy area and have fun . I have crashed my mcpx no less than a hundred times at a cost to fix of maybe 30$ . Stock up on main rotor linkages and order an extra servo for the main rotor and you will have loads of fun :-). Just my opinion , have a great time .
