I ahve purchased and assembled sky surfer V2 in Chennai need flying triaing on week ends I have done some simulator flying too.
Practice on a good simulator, that will be the best flying lesson. Once you get your hands on simulator perfect, then you can easily fly the sky surfer, because sky surfer is a very slow flyer, it gives you lot of time to correct the controls.
You can't believe, we used to play with this model, one of my friend has landed the sky surfer into my hands directly. will post that pic soon.
