Get comfortable with it and practice making a good landing approach into the wind. Practice your landings up high by decreasing throttle or cutting it completely and see how she'll glide. I always aim for a little nose heaviness especially at first.

Be careful to achieve the correct center of gravity. All their kits are essentially put together the same way and utilize the same parts tree for the little plastic parts. The directions are easy to understand and once you have done one GWS kit you basically have done them all. Unless of course you are willing to start from scratch. In building a GWS kit the assumption is that you have some building experience (or willingness) and maybe some leftover parts from an earlier trainer. If you intend to fly scale with some basic maneuvers this is a great kit to start with. The model is designed to be flown gentle, so if you plan on flying super aerobatics with it you will have some reinforcing to do. The PT 17 maneuvers slow so make sure you have plenty of altitude before you put it through its paces. With the 400 class, I can get 10 or more minutes of flight time and have plenty of power to pull some aerobatic maneuvers. The PT 17 can be flown with the stock brushed motor that it comes with or be upgraded to a brushless 370 or 400 class motor. Many advanced modelers choose to fly it over their more challenging warbirds. The PT 17 Stearman is a great first trainer with stable flight characteristics that has a rich history. I like the white versions so I can base the paint scheme on a truly historic squadron of pilots. They look true to scale and are available pre-painted or white. I prefer the GWS kits because of their affordability and the fact that you can easily find replacement parts. GWS has a few planes that I would suggest as a first plane for anyone looking to start flying the fighters. RAMZ over and out Google gws t6 and it is the second listing for RC GROUPS Also following GWS T 6 thread A Classic from the past on RC groups. You tube search Bill Leff's T6 and you will see what I am talking about. I intend on doing a mini airshow routine with borrowed narration. Really excited about better video and more aerobatics. The last videos were all done on the same windy day. Those factors and flying behaviors all coming together perfectly to get the most out of my equipment. I also fly at half throttle most of the time to keep it looking scale. Lately I have been thinking about the sonic combat modules, or just the old fashioned ribbon style combat. Also I am going to paint it just like my Grandfather's. I get my electronics from heads up rc, 2$ shipping from right here in the USA, the prices are the lowest I have found, and believe it I have looked. It's so stable and she'll do anything, I have been practicing cuban eights, and trying to learn some more aerobatics, warbird style. My setup is 450 class motor the low kv version spinning a 10 6 or 9 6 prop, with a 32 A ESC and a 2100 TP lipo.
