RE: Eagle 2 ARF & 4 Stroke Engine?
OOOoooooohhh Weeeeeee!
You guys sure have nice planes. (and landing gear)
Tom, You put both Don's planes in your pic on the same day that he put only half of your plane in his pic. What does that say about the 2 of ya?
Yhea, I see Don's a smart feller. If you won't tell him I said so, I won't tell him you said so.
I hate to admit it, but I've changed my mind again. I've had two training flights on the Eagle II. It belongs to my instructor actually. I think he might want to sell it. After being hindered a day in ordering my stuff and taking time to do some specification comparisons and recalling all the advice I got on this forum, I'm thinking that if the plane I started training on is still for sale this weekend I'll get it instead of a new one. It looks like new, flies nicely, has plenty of power, is put together neatly with nice strong servos, is priced better than a new one and comes with a first rate instructor.
I'm finding that I'm getting used to the 2 stroke engines by spending more time around them and my stomach jitters are decreasing each time exponentially. I might want to get something later that has that mellow 4 stroke sound, so if I stay with the hobby I'll find something I can't live without later on and spend the big bucks then. By doing it that way I might even get the wife to give me a RealFlight simulator this Winter.
I like the looks of some of the giant planes and have always been sort of partial to the looks of bi-planes. There's so many good ways to go in the hobby, there's probably too much to pick from. That's one of the better problems to have.
Anyway the best part is being around like minded guys. I guess that's the most enjoyable part of any hobby.
