I just questioned what you said because it seems a little hard to fly heli's and and not know how a fully symmetrical airfoil creates lift...What kind of Heli do you have?
You said you were thinking of buying a few planes, what were you considering?
Brian,
In that case I apologize for jumping all over you. With some of the posts you made recently I was wondering what your state of mind was. Glad to have you on board.
I sold my Excel 60 awhile ago as it scared the heck out of me after a year of flying that and picked up a Kyosho ep to toy with in the backyard for now. I knew that airfoils created lift but the visualization on the symmetrical thing made me wonder. The poster above made it nice and clear how this all works (thanks).
Well, I was buying planes over the summer and ended up with my Extra 300 and Cap 232. Love them both. Now I'm looking at an Ultimate Biplane (Dave Patrick maybe) and a fun fly model. I fly some of the ff's on RealFlight G2 and they seem like they would be lots of fun and I've never had one. Also a Stearman is an interesting one too. I want to get a bigger bipe. I had an old Ace All Star Bipe (.15 Magnum in it) but it was too small and squirelly.
