RE: Big planes
That depends on what you mean bigger. I have both a H9 Sukhoi and a DR Hobbies 2.6 Extra. Both fly extremely well. The Extra tracks better, but the Sukhoi flys slower so it is easier to make minor adjustments. I have found that the 1/3 scale planes fly much more consistently than the 1/4 planes. What I mean is the bigger they are, the more likely they will do the same thing everytime you tell it to. I have found several 1/4 planes that have varying reactions to different stick inputs. Also most 1/4 scale planes you have to keep up with them all the way to the ground. On both of my big birds, all you have to do is line them up and juggle the throttle, and wind no wind, they will land themselves. Bigger is definately better when it comes to feeling the airplane. There are a few 50cc offerings that come close, but in most cases, the bigger it is, the better it flys.
