I'm a novice. Do's, don'ts, ....all suggestions welcome and appreciated! '
I've flown the Tiny Trainer, Simple Cub and now want to try the Mini Mustang...advice?

I’ve flown both. The mustang is much harder to fly. If you’ve got plenty of successful stick time on the TT then you will probably be fine, but I’d be prepared for lots of crashes if you’re still “learning” on the TT. Good luck!

Thanks. I'm ok with the TT and Cub, as soon as I get some props I'll give it a shot.

I would do the swappable one, much easier to fly. and probably a little easier build wise.

If you want a warbird that is easy to build and easy to fly, go for the P-40, not any of the P-51s.

Ok...thanks for that!
Id recommend first learning to fly either plane inverted.

Do you think this would be a good step up from a trainer?

I would recommend the ft old speedster.

Yes! It is a high wing, similar to a trainer and the dual vertical stabilizers contribute to a very stable flyer.

How much is this DIY Tiny Trainer kit from Flite Test Store? I already made one of my own. If I wanted to see if I could fly one guaranteed success flight, I'd go with the DIY Tiny Trainer. So how much is this kit, with the RC transmitter, with the necessary extension cables, with the necessary receiver, and with a landing gear if this kit comes with one. Otherwise, just hand throw it. So how much is this whole thing? What is t he mAmphours on the Tiny Trainer? All of them come with 1000 mAmphours? If so, already flying. Yeah, that is probably it. The battery or the system did not know there was any flight, so when the transmitter picked up the battery, it shut down. Set it up again. Different battery.
Thank you!
I'm thinking of buying one like this. Then testing my home made theory out. This would look good for me starting off. I'm into the electronics part, so I know that the fuse on the receiver or lights is not burned out. Just the wrong frequency on the system. They have ranges they go on. AFHDS 2.4 Ghz SkyFly transmitter.

I dislike the mini version of that plane, it seems like a step over than up. I favor the scout though, I think it flies better and doesn't rock back and forth. It does pretty decent loops too.
I don't have any warbird recommendations though, I have a cut out and half constructed mini corsair that I just got servos for, but right now I am distracted cutting out a F6F and building my daughter a TT replacement. Right now my only function airframe is my oldest one, a mini arrow, and it is still a blast.
I wonder if he shouldn't try a wing out for a while?
