I'll second Welsh 3d's statements, I'm putting together a Glens 30% airframe with a zenoah 62. It builds into a 16lb model, with a 86 inch span two piece wing. Its a kit, so you have to build it, but its a fairly quick and simple build. Its designed to give large throws for 3d performance, and its also suitable for IMAC. These kits have a huge following in the UK, and are considered one of the best in their class. The model will fit in my Nissan Micra, although I cant take any passengers !

If you are concerned about the price of fuel for the larger glos, then either :

spend a bit more and get a petrol sized model, the fuel savings in the long run will more than make up for the higher initial cost. A bigger model makes flying the sequences accurately easier as you can see the corrections required sooner.

or

get a 60 sized glo model. For entry level IMAC it would be fine. After a year you can then decide how commited to IMAC you are and get the bigger model if you wish.



I have two 120 size models, and the fuel costs are significant. But its not just the price of fuel, I have to make extra trips to my LHS, which is an hour round trip typically in traffic, and I have to pay to park too. Thats why I went the petrol route.
