my goal is to fly a (large as I can afford) corsair. I have eccepted the fact that it should not be my first plane. I'll concider all sugestions but seem to have my mind on 3 options. The duraplane, its cheaper and appears most durable (I can see myself at some point trying to fly solo a little early in my training) but im told they are not as stable as some trainers. The sig cadet senior is the bigest (i like that) and best looking but also the most expensive and I worry, can wings that large be impact resistant enough for me. Or, would the sig kadet lt-40 be a good compromise? I do intend to get a good 6 channel radio right away. I am wondering however sould i also get an engine that is larger. Will for instance a .65 motor fit were a .46 is rcomended?<BR><BR>You all have some great advice and opinions.<BR>Thank you in advance
If you would really like to fly a Corair immediately, you could make the 5 hour trip to Olcott, NY. I run the only hobby shop in the world that makes a fly before you buy offer to anyone. We will give you flight instruction (minus the limitations of a buddy-box) on a trainer the first hour and low wing instruction after that (same day). Within a couple of hours you will be able to takeoff and land with the trainer and a very good chance with the low wing plane (Super Sportster). I have a Corsair on the building board for the purpose of giving flight instruction in the future.
Cost? Traveling cost. All we would like you to do in return is to immediately report what you experienced. Why? Because too many people in this hobby absolutely refuse to believe that it is possible to learn so very quickly.
