Default RE: Looking for a small plane.

ORIGINAL: Red B.

One of the nicest flying small models is the OK Models Hydeaway 15. It is a laser cut kit suitable for .15 engines and both the kit quality and flying performance are top notch.
I've got one of these too. It's got a TT GP-15 in it. While it does fly nice, the unexpected snap rolls have kept it from being my favorite plane. One thing that helped a little was to lower the ailerons a bit, but it still snaps if pushed. When I had to choose which of my planes was going to lose it's brain (receiver) to the Zen, the Hydeaway lost. Servos are still in, so it's not completely decommissioned, but it's temporarily out of service.

To Tianci, I don't know how it would do with a FS26. It doesn't have a huge wing, so I think the weight might be an issue. Also, remember it's a kit, not an ARF.
