questions from a newbie (sting)

k4te - 16-7-2009 at 09:18 AM

After seeking quite a bit of advice i'm going to be getting a sting (probably 3.3). Will this come ready to fly, or will lines need attaching etc etc? If so, will it come with comprehensive/easy to follow instructions?

This might help...

Steer it like the handlebars on a bike, sort of. The changing geometry of the bar and lines act to pull on the brake in the direction of the turn.

Individual input on brakes. More precise control, especially in turns

Edit: for your original question, yes they do come with basic instructions
