Default Aerobatic RTFs???

DBCherry should I assume you know who Yub, yub, cmdr! is being from the same area??? DBCherry is correct if your not a seasoned pilot, I have a student that soloed in 3 weeks flat (a real natural) and he too wanted to jump the gun and go for the big gun aerobatic planes so I got my Ultrasport 40+ set up on a trainer box (mind you this plane can be more docile) anyhow it has a YS 63FZ on it wich is a lot of power on a plane this size but anyhow I got it up real high with the lower of the rates and let him take it for a few seconds to see what a aerobatic plane handles like Well it only took a few seconds for him to relize he was not at all ready for the planes he was looking at Actually I think it went something like this "Holy ****** TAKE IT" So I passed along one of my not so flown anymore planes to him cheap and gave him the engine to help him out being on a tight budget. After you get the trainer mastered than take a look at planes like the Kaos 40 or Ultra stick, These planes will be able to do most anything you can think of but won't be so proned to get out of control and won't be a hot landing plane like the Edge or extra's . When you are ready there are planes for lower prices that are very aerobatic, I've flown every weekend with good weather for 3 years and fly indoors in the winter I'm considering to get one of the aerobatic planes just now so don't be in a rush, You will get there.

And DBCherry if you guys have any Funfly's in your neck of the woods let me know, My little clan want's to do some road trips and it would be nice to meet you. There is one coming up in Bridgewater I plan to go to, Not sure if you get out that way much but if your interested I get the details for you.
