RE: Big planes
That's a pretty good description that 3DONdaEdge gave. I have a couple of 1/4s and have flown a friends 35% Carden Cap several times. It's hard to tell how it feels but I have described them as more true to the sticks. The Carden does what you tell it when you tell it with no suprises.
His is for sale. He will let it all go for less than $2,000. You get it all minus the RX and batteries. It's Brison 6.4 twin powered with all JR servos. If you look around in your area maybe something similar is out there.
