Default RE: Top-Flite DC-3


ORIGINAL: Fili
I have to agree, I don't think this kit is a good first twin. My Martuka P38 flew better than this kit. I had Tower hobies .40s plenty of power. At slower speeds, mine tended to tip stall. Had to come in hotter than usual and needed plenty of ground speed for take off.
(she sure was pretty though!)
I appreciate your comments re the suitability of the DC-3 as a first twin but I'm probably more interested in the actual build than the flying of it.
I have access to plenty of help with the flying aspect and am looking forward to spending many hours trying ro replicate a particular DC3

Thanks for the comments though
