Depends what you buy I suppose
Blade 912s are the best
Powered by a Rotax 912 engine.
Minimum speed is 30mph
Cruise is 68mph
Fastest is 101mph
Push the bar right and you go left
Push the bar left and you go right.
Pull the bar in and you are pivoting the wing downwards hence you are decending
Push the bar out then you’ll ascend.

how fast does it go? how do you steer left or right? is the altitude controlled by pitching the wing or throttling the engine?

The two instruments I have to the left of the compass are Digital readings one is oil temp and pressure and the other is water pressure /temp it is more accurate,and yes the bumpy days are fun!!!!

Gotta love the bumpy days, was doing some rough solo circuits today myself. What are the two instruments you have to the left of the compass?
