OK real quick, this is for all of you guys who are going to "bigger" planes. I haven't read through this entire thread yet but I'm starting to get worried about some of you.

First off, the Firebird Scout uses much less room than other planes of it's size. Even though flying it in your front yard would be a bad move, it still takes up very little room. When you move on to bigger and better things than the AA and Scout, you will learn that.

And, The Parkzone F-27 Stryker is NOT and never will be a beginner's plane. To master it from the Aeroace, I would suggest moving up to an FB Commander2 and then on to an Aerobird Challenger. The Stryker uses lots of room, and when upgraded, uses even more room. I'm working on getting one to go up to 85 mph which is very slow compared to the other guys in the "Stryker Way Past the Limits" thread.

If some of you want to move up in this hobby, don't cry over losing a 30 dollar plane. It's an awesome plane, yes, but 1 of my HS81 MG servos costs the same as the AA.

I'm sorry for my ranting and rambling, but it was bugging me to see that.

P.S. IF you are a very experienced RC pilot, try flying your AA in 15mph winds. I did, and it was a blast. Just have it hover on the lowest throttle setting and as long as the wind doesn't pick up like it did to me, (close encounter with neighbor's roof, don't ask) than it will hover there forever. Fun fun stuff.
