Pass_N_Time

Hello, I have been flying for a little while and feel confident with my skills for now. I have a mega powered cut down Zagi that runs right at 100 mph. I have been flying mostly a .46 pro Burrito profile. I want a plane for just speed and giggles. What would you suggest? I have a Jerry L Smith Outlaw in the box I havent built yet. Should I just start with this one with a webra .32 and a JL Smith pipe? I don't mind building one from a kit but I would buy one already done New/Used also. Anyone have a nice beginner to speed gas plane for sale or know where I can just get one. I see to many different ones on this forum. I know that once you are into the speed planes most lean to one certain kind or another. Just looking for some help picking out the right one the first time.

Thanks
Will

I still think a Q500 is the best intro to speed. You got landing gear to take off and land with, and they fly very nice.

For kits your limited to the Dominator, and a few other cottage industry kits.

For Arfs you got the Predator, Viper, and Sonic. All have their plusses and minusses.

Can you email me the web site for the Q500? If you have the Predator, viper, and sonic sites as well I would appriciate it greatly. It would keep me from searching for them.

Thanks

Check out pylonworld.com. The Predator is by Lanier, Viper by GP and Sonic by Global. All are available at either Tower or Hobby People. I would strongly recommend you do perform a search to learn more about each one.

HI

The first plane that I started with for speed was the Cermark Javelin II. The ARF is around $160 and the RTF with GWS 47 and long pipe and servos for about $275. Fly super and lands slow and stable. With the GWS she will run 100 +. Had about 100 flights on mine and now planning to install a Rossi or a jett to go even faster.

Pass-N..........

take a look on matneymodels.com

They sell a few nice Q-500 designs (glass and foam basic kits - require additional materials and building) that are excellent as first-time speed aircraft. You will also find the Zoomer, which is a 'cleaned up' quickie once used for some regional racing. All 3 wing variations fly well. Any of these can be powered by any .40-.50 size engine, and you will have a decent speed ship on your hands. By there nature, the Q-500 type aircraft are very smooth, and will slow down very nicely for landing.

Here's what a Sonic looks like....recovered. The present ones have
really cheap covering material on them. []

If you want some cheap thrills....It will do 120-125 with a $65.00
GMS .47 ....good little motor, front needle, and already has the high
performance pipe. [sm=thumbup.gif]

FBD.

Its' true- That GMS is a powerful engine, for the price...

If it were me I would check the swap-shop and look for a Rossi-40 or similar for that airplane
