thanx for the tip, piper_chuck. i think i'm gonna get one. it'll be my first bipe and first glow model.
Conductor stop the train! Your first glow model? More details are in order. What flying experience do you have?
Biplanes are not good "first glow models" unless your prior flying is perhaps on gas powered planes. If you're coming from electrics, you'll be better off starting your glow flying with something a bit more mild mannered. Perhaps a high wing trainer, perhaps a low wing "trainer", it's hard to make a specific recommendation without knowing more about your flying experience. In fact, the ideal scenario for you is to find someone local who can see you fly, recommend a good "first glow model" based on your skills, and then help you through enough flights to make sure you're ok.
