I've done heavy research and I'm going with a spectrum NX 10 with hopes of flying bigger planes up to 90mm. Any thoughts, tips or tricks to help this semi begginer are appreciated.
Great model to start with if you keep it simple, I was in the similar boat, few decades ago switching from helicopters to jets and couple of "F-16's" by Kyosho were just a few I learn on. No landing gear, I have converted them to bungee launchers. (easiest way to get airborne unless you like to hand launch it)
Few of my recent Eflite and Sapac I have also converted to a sling shooters to keep it simple and light, running hot like a missiles, just pull and let go! No need for landing gear.
Simple convert to a sling shooter.
Falcon variety.
Easy sling launch.
90deg. X-wind launch.
