My new RC plane

[Tupac]

careful with the flaps. my pony only needs very very little. i've got the radio set up to provide a slight down trim on the elevator, as the flaps come out, preventing the nose from porpoising.
that's the hobbico superstar?

you'd be surprised at what that plane will do with a .46fx....or the .50sx.  

and congrats on the solo btw.

ive got a .50 LA on layaway at the hobby store

Nice plane Tupac, you ll get hooked real bad lol  Ive got 3 warbirds P51-D, A6M, F4U-D All 66 to 76" wingspans and just got a 96" B25-J , on the B25 I'm making sure the Bombay doors will function so i can drop flour bombs, or Paintball bombs, that trainer you have looks alot like the one i use for warmng up, very stable plane

i fly it when its really windy, i wont fly any of my other planes when there is alot of wind

[68ZooM]

yea they work killer on mid to high wind, not to high thou lol, i live in the central oregon where the wind can come up in seconds, when it starts to blow i land my warbirds but ill still fly my trainer.

if they still sell em.....world models t-34 mentor. it's ugly. it flys beautifully though


the yellowcheckered one is mine. i modified the aielrons, elevator, and rudder. i changed from a single servo on the aielrons, to one on each one...so i could use em like flaperons. it has an os .50sx in it, and is fast as hell.......yet lands at a crawl.

 the red one is how they appear stock. beautiful flying airplane...and good first low winger.

those are to of my civil air patrol cadets. that pic is from the day that our r/c club hosted the kids, and we let em all fly.

[Tupac]

Hmm, I'm in CAP I should see if anyone in my squardron flies RC

[Bosco123]

LOL .. the guys who flew the real ones did not get long to 'get used to it' .. make sure the CG is right, engine is run in, and have one of the 'old hands' take it up first to trim it out and check flight controls .. then it's all yers.

I found it easier to fly the bigger planes ..not as twitchy as the smaller ones and more visual feedback on approach and such.

Definitely faster flare speeds .. FUN!!

That in my terms is not a bigger airplane, and that is the problem. I have a 92'' Hellcat that really does fly like a trainer, and that is big and easy. I also have a 101'' 109 that is not at all that easy to fly, so it could go either way. The airplane is going to be much heavier than what you are used to and the wing loading is going to be much higher with the less of the wing.

I would do like you said and keep it as a static show airplane, and that is all for now. I would also buy a sport type flier and learn with that, then move on to the P40.
