You don't want to applying stickers to a KingCat do you???? lol

Seriously tho; the flight evelope on the KingCat is really hard to imagine. It can be really slowed down (not especially easy) or it can go like h*ll.

That said it's not especially easy to fly although it is what I started turbine flying with as I'd always liked the model. Since then, there are quite a number of models that are easier to fly and cost a chunk less money. So for a newbie I think I'd suggest something a bit easier and more importantly cheaper, model to start with as it might wind up in a pile.

If you have some good experienced turbine guys about to help you and you're dead set on the KingCat, then I'd say go for it!

As to rcpete347's comment about "time to move on", a lot of guys I know who've sold their KingCats later regret doing so....

I still have mine
