I MISS MY US AIR CORE PLANES,,,,every once in a while,,,the thought that the very first us air core family trainer, that i bought used from a friend of mine for 175 rtf all i needed was a field box,,,i thought i could figure this thing out(like an idiot),,,but that first plane took too many to count tumbles and cart wheels and a few dozen props(46 or bigger is a must for any of them even the jet with a tuned pipe),,,but the number is I crashed it full throtle NINE times befor i had to buy a new one and ask for help,,,,,but my colt ended up i allowed a friend to fly it and he lost it in some trees ,,,the plane puked out the power cartrage but the plane has a part of that tree,,,,,some fellows cut it down and claimed it but the radio and engine i had ,,,my garage is littered with parts and pieces to many us aircore trainers and colts,,,the one thing that is unfair about them and may fool ya,,is there stabbility,if glued straight and true,no plane, has the slow speed stability,,in a wind you can actually go back ward but at 35 mph winds they just lify straight up (alot of down elevater to keep the nose down ) need less to say very stabble and hard to desrtroy,,(if i could have got that colt down it would still be flying) iam now flying dave patrick extra 330 L like a rail,,but nothing like air core
