Hey Geek,

It should be ok to start with, also, you will need to either fly this indoors or on a totally calm day... read this before you even attempt to spin up the rotors...

Also, it would be worth getting some sime time in too.

Good luck.... Azzy

Re: New Guy and already purchased

Thanks Aztek. I bought a Picoo Z today and have been chasing my wife and cat around the house since I got the feel for it (about 10 flights ). Anyway I plan on spending a great deal of time on the sim and yep I had already found that training course. I plan on something bigger and better down the road but thought since it will probably need many repairs I would start cheap.

Thanks for your help
