Your best bet will be with a simulator. Using a controller hooked up to your computer.

You will still crash, but at least you'll know why.

I love to build them

Airplanes are wonderful thingezzz

If you have MS Flight Simulator - use the tower view to help train you as an RC pilot
(It's less expensive if you crash)

Way cool. Love RC but can only afford so many toys at a time. I got a real nice MS flight
sim system set up Wolfie. And MS Combat Pacific as well.

It kinda depends - I've been giving serious thought to an STOL very slow flyer that can't drive into the ground like a missile. A model of an air-tractor or grumman ag cat possibly, or a modified glider with an engine

The other thing you could do is use the first four channels for flight controls - and the fifth one for a parachute recovery system!
