Looking to buy one if somebody has one to sell. Please look in those
"to-build" closets. I promise to give it a good home and actually
build it.

Thanks,

Tony

Anyone know where I can get one of these kits? I suspect they stopped
kitting them years ago. I had one of each back in the early 90's and
would like to try building them again with the hope that I can now do a
much better job. :)

Most trainers are capable of far more than people ever use them for. My
Seagull Boomerang 40 has 300hours of flying and is looking really sad, yet
it will still do things most pilots would never think it capable of
surviving.

I've overpowered it, dived it well beyond flutter, pulled massive 'wing
breaking' G, landed it inverted, flown through trees, discovered it's
absolute maximum speed (just won't go faster no matter how big an engine),
hovered it etc etc.

You're wasting money and getting no benefit for it. Try a cheap trainer,
assemble it well, and (once you get used to it) flog the death out of it.

After attending the TopGun RC plane meet in Lakeland, Florida last month
I've got to buy an ARF RC plane trainer.
When I was a kid I did pretty good with U control model planes. Remember
them?
My brother sent me a link for a trainer but I want to get the best, ideally
one that'll grow beyond a trainer.
I'm willing to spend several hundred bucks maybe more.

  Park flier         


Author: Bryan Heit
Date: May 14, 2008 14:14

A while ago I relocated to a new city, and unfortunately, downgraded
to an apartment. As such I had to sell off all of my RC's. Now the
life's settled a little bit I was thinking about getting a park flier
- as in a small electric. There are a lot of options out there now
compared to the last time I looked - everything from little toys to
the larger (but still quite small) park fliers I remember from 4-5
years ago.

I was wondering what people would recommend. I'm willing to spend a
little extra for a larger unit, and want one with full control (i.e. 4
channel). I'd prefer a more stable plane, as the skills are getting
rusty...

Thanx

Bryan
