Well I pulled the trigger on the
Freewing Pandora 4-in-1 Blue 1400mm (55") Wingspan -.
sorry that copy and paste thing went wild. bought this based on 2 major things. first its made by Freewing and as I understand from the forums that company is one of the best. Second was that the plane is literally 4 planes in one. going from tricycle landing gear to tail dragger and from a top wing to bottom wing .. all in one. Seemed like a logical way to go. Then I bought the spektrum nx6. I was considering the idea of a radio for the semi long term. Seemed like this model would do me best with that idea in mind. Got a good price I think at $360 including the receiver. I figure the plane would do me for some time as I learn each aspect of it. Assuming I dont plow it into the ground...lol And I thought the radio would do fine for a few years until I eventually get into the 8 to 12 channel needs.. If ever...
