RE: Getting started, on a budget, with a size limit
Im sure I could fly it here in the high school gym after school, Probably wouldnt want to learn flying it in there but after I get comfortable It wouldnt be any problem.
Havent in depth checked out the college campus but Im sure it has the big buildings. Ill have to check it out, ask around I believe there is a gentleman that lives close to me that is HUGE into Balsa wood model planes so ill try to find out and talk to him and see if he has anything hes wanting to get rid of as in older not wood planes.
On planes like that ember, how durable are they? With the engine and wiring all exposed and the twiggy little frames I would be worried about crashing and breaking one. Since I live in the mountains Im probably going to be learning to land on frozen snow (unless I can magically hold off from buying anything untill summer time) so Id imagine that if the motor of a plane like the ember took a nose dive into the snow it wouldnnt hold up too well.
Also I was looking at all of these micro planes and there are close to 3 or 4 companies that make planes like the HobbyZone Champ. They all almost look identical and all almost have the same controllers (with same spektrum technology) only some charge batteries from the controllers and others from little chargers. Is there much of a quality difference between all these planes?<br type="_moz" />
