Another "second plane" post..
Aren't you guys sick of these popping up every day?
I'm flying a hobbyzone super cub right now and loving it.I have much learning to do still, but I'm starting to plan for the summer months. In May or June, once I'm more comfortable on the supercub, I'll be looking to upgrade and get a second park flyer. I really like the parkzone line ups andI like the durable and easy to repair.
To cut to the chase, I REALLY love the parkzone P47D Thunderbolt. I love the fact that I can get the electric retracts for it (added realism) and love the look of it. However, I've gotten mixed reviews from people online. Some say it's a fine second plane that you can progress to from a super cub. Others say no way! Start with something easier and make the P47D my third plane.
The other one I'm looking at is the parkzone P51D Mustang. While I like the looks of both,I really am not to keen on hand launching and belly landing.. I know that's my biggest hold back with the P51D.
So those of you who own or have flown both, what're your thoughts? I'm putting in lots of time on the simulator andI'm a very slow, patient flyer. I was thinking if I went for the P47D and installed flaps on it soI can fly slower, it'll be easier to control and might be okay as a second plane?
Or should Ijust not risk it and move up to a P51D first, then later to the P47?
Thanks again, guys (and gals)!
