I am asked for airplane recommendations very frequently. In many cases, pilots are confused and frustrated by widespread promises that they will soon fly like a pro if they purchase "X" airplane. Of course, how well an airplane flies is subjective to the skill level of the pilot. Also, what a pro pilot feels is easy to fly and easy to land may not be nearly as easy for you and could even end up getting you into trouble. Indeed,since all that most people have to go on are recommendations or marketing, pilots often chalk up their troubles to needing more practice rather than questioning whether they're flying the right airplane. At 1st U.S. R/C Flight School, we hear of many pilots who have continued to fly with mixed results until another airplane that promises to improve their flying skills grabs their attention - with disappointing results.
