This combination makes them very maneuverable, predictable-just a whole lot of fun. A sport scale plane will have some slight modifications to the design to maintain its looks but make it easier to fly and build. Scale planes are directed toward the most experienced builder. Their goal is to make the most accurate scale replica of the original full size plane. Usually, this requires hundreds of hours of building time and master craftsman skills.
Many people love scale planes, but for most, sport scale is the better place to start.
Many first-time plane buyers try to start with an advanced plane. Every plane has a speed where the wing simply stops flying. Trainers have very slow stall speeds. The low stall speed is due to the flat bottom airfoil shape. When a trainer does stall, it recovers quickly and with little control input from the pilot.
