Default RE: Too many choices, too little time....



Congrats on your new plan! Moving forward to your next plane, I'd suggest considering Great Planes ElectroStik EP RXR - It is a time tested plane that can take a rough surface field with out issues. This is not the best looking plane around but a is user friendly and can do pretty much what you have the nerve to try. Check it out at Tower Hobbies at this link http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXUTZ8&P=ML

You can do a google search for reviews and youtube videos on this plane. Our flying field has been carved out of the desert floor, and after many passes with the drag and tractor we have access too, it is still what I call a "barn stormer's field". The planes with tiny wheels don't do very well on this kind of surface. Thus, my suggestion. There are several other good planes with good strong landing gear and larger tires to choose from.

Hope you enjoy your new plane!
