Acrobatic high wing suggestions?
I am considering getting back into the hobby after a number of years.
I had a lot of time on a Aerostar trainer with a very hot motor and some time on a Kobra again with a oversize motor.
I have quite a few hours on G3.5
I am looking for a high wing with a semi symmetrical wing or more so I can fly some stunts and have a bit of stability also.
Having the ability to get some extra power into her when I feel comfortable would be good also.
Anyone have a suggestion or does this plane not exist?
Thanks

RE: Acrobatic high wing suggestions?
I have two suggestions. First, I believe this is almost exactly what you were looking for.
http://www.bananahobby.com/1783.html
I have bought from Bananahobby with no problems yet. I got the AT-6 from them and it is a great plane.
I would also recommend the MS Composite Unique. I have one and it is a great flyer. It can do nice slow flight or fast with 3D maneuvers. It is capable of way more than I am I just set the rates low. You will have to have your own radio for this plane. Here is a pic of mine. Also this plane is a kit.
It's kind of funny, I could swear this exact question was asked very recently

Thanks Wheelnut
I hadn't thought of the AT-6 but that is my favorite right after a Skywalker. I will have to look into an AT-6 since I have not seen a Skywalker in electric yet.
Anybody recommend a manufacutre?

One of the guys at my club flies an AviStar and that thing is pretty aerobatic. High wing, semi-symmetric airfoil, everything you want. It's an ARF kit from Tower for $109.

So, the bananahobby plane would be $20 cheaper that would save you money to put towards batteries or whatever, and it's a RTF which will save more money if you don't already have a radio.
Just check out the video of the plane on their site, it is very aerobatic
FalconFB, you didn't mention if you had a radio or not and if you plan to buy a good radio or not.
