Comments: Last summer my boys and I started flying slope planes. That's when I got my P51. The winds come up in the evening during the summer and I can go flying after work. Slope flying was how I eventually learned to fly R/C. When asked about learning to fly R/C I suggest they learn on the slope. It's the least expensive way to get started. And now with the EPP foam planes your chances of learnig to fly on your first plane are almost 100%. This was my third EPP foamie and it went together well. Dave' Aircraft Works planes come with great instructions. The parts fit very well and they fly well. I covered my P51 with Econocote which I liked better than Monocote. Also there are a whole range of colored tapes that can be used to decorate your plane. I used a larger battery pack because I like to fly for a couple of hours after work. But even afer a couple hours of use only 250ma of discharge is used out of the battery.
