That's a really nice plane. Please do post a flight video once you fly. I wanted to ask how difficult this build would be for a complete noob to scratch builds and planes in general. I want to build a small plane soon and I was considering the FT Mini series since I do not have a lot of space to fly. Would you recommend this plane for me?

Hi SK.

This is a easy build and easy to fly plane. you can go for it. Though its not a high wing trainer model still the dihedral wings will give the stability. i will upload the video soon.

I prefer the FT Mini series since I can use the same electronics (power pod) for multiple planes. Anyway, I will only start in a couple of months since I used up my budget on my quadcopter.

You can use those elecs in another build too.

Blubaby is a better one for beginners.

I will ask FT whether they are coming with a beginners mini.
