Default RE: Suggestions for third plane

HI Brad.

Yep, they exist. Anything that has wings has some sort of model. It may be scratch built with plans, or it may be a kit. But, anything is possible.

The Tiger 60 is a fine aircraft. I loved mine.. past tense because I sold it to someone that really wanted it. I still have my Tiger 120, though. Either way, set up properly, it flys just great. The size is perfect to see as you do things, such as landings. You can clearly see what happens when you flare, for instance. I keep mentioning that because after I solo'ed, I took it for granted because it did something when I used the elevator. With the Tiger 60, though, I was coming in for a landing, slowly, and was really focused on the plane. When it was just above the ground, I just "tapped" the elevator. The nose came up slightly and the plane just settled in for a perfect landing. I was really psyched over that.

After that, I kept doing it just to see it flare with elevator input while at the same time, I was improving my landing techniques.

The Cesna 150 is a really nice plane. Another one that many may suggest is the Cub. Take a look at that one too.

I don't know about your kit question. I'm sure someone will answer that for you.
