I recommend to read the instructions carefully. Which is very well established and well understood. The control of the aircraft is used to, the steering may only be touched, otherwise the plane immediately goes into a dive. But is also exactly the same in the manual. Damage you can just stick with UHU POR, should break a wing on the trunk directly, the breaking point with Leukosilk and glue are enhanced. But despite more than 50 crashes I have such serious damage can not yet produce. Due to its low weight happens generally nothing if the plane should come down times. Conclusion: Every beginning is difficult, but then makes the little fun.
