Check out the Ultra Stick 40 from hangar 9.... I'm putting mine togeather as we speak.. (passed my flight exam last week) I wanna get into aerobatics/3-d stuff, and loops and rolls on my trainer are ok, but not exactly where I would like them to be. I put the single big aileron insted of the "quad" option on the stick, cause I'm gonna try to get this puppy light and see if she'll hover. (2 extra servos needed for the quad option) Hopfully I'll be breaking in the 46AX this weekend!
Plus its a really easy arf to put togeather, pretty cheap, and you can use all your standard servos and .46 sized engine from your trianer too! Can't wait to fly it (hopfully a couple of weeks)
Nearly everyone at my field seems to have had a "stick" of some kind at one point or another.
