ORIGINAL: ram3500-RCU

I like the slightly larger 80cc size. That gets you in the 100" range and these IMO can be flown more realistically.
I would agree. Ihave found as Iget older that the bigger plane is much easier to fly. There is big difference between an 80" plane and 95" plane. Very big difference. And easier to work on too, you can get your hands insude the fuselage. Even bigger flies even better but they get harder to carry and harder to find motors for. About 90-100" is right for me, but 20 years ago Iwas more comfortable with 40 and 60 sized Royal kits and that kind of thing, but not any more, too hard to see and land. Also, the bigger planes handle the weight beter if you want to add details or repaint them. Iwas looking at the new Easytiger Raiden, but I realized that at only 72" it's too small for me these days, Ihave a TF P47, it's a great plane but harder and harder for me to fly.
The Wildhair Hellcat looks good, just a little small, but not too small. Wish they made it a litte bigger.
