Low Wing 40 size plane?
Learned the hard way today that a 90* crosswind at about 20mph is nothing to take for granted. I got up ok, but on landing I found that I really need a lot of practice on my crosswind landings. I lost my Magic Extra when the wind literally pushed the bottom of the wing backwards and into the ground as I was making a turn to go around in the cross wind. I am looking for the following in an ARF:
1. 40 size (Will be using the OS 46fx off of the Magic)
2. Low wing with some dihedral.
3. Can be a trike or taildragger.
4. Can be a trainer, but low wing is preferable.
5. "Semi-symetrical wing" this will provide the stability I need during practice.
6. Quality ARF (I know some consider that to be an oxymoron, but I don't want to get a kit right now.) I am finishing my Somethin Extra, and have the SIG Hog Bipe in the wings as my next one.
Am Considering:
1. Goldberg Tiger 2
2. Kaos 40
3. PC-9 40 from Horizon Hobby
4. Midwest Aerobat (If a end up deciding on a high wing plane.)
5. Avistar (I had one as a trainer, but my instructor insists this does not have a semi-symetrical wing, even though the box says so.)
I am also not sure whether or not these have the "semi-symetrical" wings.
Any other suggestions or recommendations on these or any others would be appreciated. The reason that I want to go the ARF route is to have it ready soon and by Memorial Day for our club funfly.
