    It's small : at 300 metres something 40"-60" might be more visible.
    You can only fly back what you can see.
    But if you have eagle's eyes, smaller costs less.

    i understand what your saying about the size but i wanted to start with a plane thats small and cheap just to get the hang of the basics of flying and then when i have a good idea on how fly and land a small plane then i will to move to a bigger one

    Well if you master the smaller one, then bigger ones will then seem easier. Bigger ones of similar design are generally easier to fly than smaller ones, besides being easier to see.

    the plane arrived today and it a small plane but a nice piece of kit all the same i had it up and running in about 5 minutes and even though there is a good breeze today i decided to give it a go in the local hurling filed and was very surprised how easy it was to fly and control fair enough i had a few heavy crashes some due to the strength of the breeze and some due to me but with no damage what so ever so it quite a tuff little plane and i really look forward to flying it in better conditions but i would highly recommend this plane to anyone starting off like me

    One I learned the hard way - start off on calm days. Wind=expense.
    You'll learn shag all coz you'll have little or no control either.

    Well worth the money to get used to controls:

    or similar from ebay.
