Default RE: Potensky Eagle vs. Parkzone Typhoon?

Hell of a 1st post.

I have not flown the Eagle, only seen. It looks like crap, IMO. Everything about it, too many to list. If it looks like crap, it usually flys like crap. No offense.

I have a Typhoon.

It sounds like you will really like the Typhoon. From what you want in a foamy, the Typhoon fits you, perfect.

It does everything you want it to do very well. You can set up the surfaces with allot or a little movement, plus the radio has rates. Don't worry about !QUOT!needing!QUOT! a comp radio for these planes.

The Typhoon does not perform to my expectations. I prefer the performance of a under 14oz plane. My son Zane is flying it and having a ball.

The ParkZone stuff is good equipment. I did strip gears in the servos, in the air, however I did mods to the plane to give it more than twice the deflection it was intended too. It wasn't designed for how I wanted it to fly.

Do the Typhoon, however if ya got the Eagle cheap enough, just keep it and fly it too.
