Default RE: Second Plane Recomendations

Hi Guys,

My second plane was/is a Contender. Very easy to build and is easier to fly than my Trainer. With the flap option it lands very slowly yet goes where you point it and with a Saito 72 has good vertical performance and is able to fly the novice pattern.

I also have a Dynaflight PT 19 powerd by an OS 108 and a series of scratch built profile and SPADS. I am currently building a Carl Goldberg Super Chipmunk powered with a Super Tigre 75.

Why am i saying all this? When I just want a relaxing morning flying or the wind is strong I fly the Contender, despite the fact there is probably more glue than balsa it is lots of funnnnnnnnnn.

Cheers,

Colin
