thanks for your input!!!

Vote! Vote! Vote! lol

Screw the P-51....I want one of those edges....that thing looks hot.

The P51 wont hover, and you'd have to be pretty good to get it to do a rolling circle considering it has no rudder.
I would take the Edge 540...looks awesome.

Both are two totally dfeerent airplanes. I suppose it all depends on what you would want out of the airplane. When you figure that out, choose which one you want.

Well...i just want something to have lots of fun with!

Parkflyers GeeBee 3-D[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

I'm another one for the parkflyers GEE BEE, I love mine I also have the P 51 and I didn't really like it.

finally, someone with a parkflyer.com geebee. i thought they didn't exist for a while. made a post, had 0 responces.

LOL, 4 votes, 50%/50%. glad we could help! I depends on your personal situation. Are you experienced flyer? if not really, put down the mouse and walk away slowly. I've seriously considered at one time or another (and came very close) to buying both of these planes. decided to go the arf direction to get real quality. I'm still considering the edge 540 though. It will not hover, but still looks pretty cool to fly around for under $200.[8D]

two totally different planes- and netiher are 3D, despite the claims made for the Edge 540T (Im assuming your talking about parkflyers). the are several threads about the PF Edge that are less than spectacular.

On the other hand if youre piloting skills are up to it, you cant go wrong with the Typhoon if youre looking for a fully aerobatic RTF somewhat 3D capable plane. I have one and its a quite impressive bargain despite everyone whining how they stripped their servos out because they banged their plane around.

Please will you let us know about your experiences with this model ?

How easy is it to fly when compared with ??????

How slow can it fly ? Good (and not so) points ?

Thanks

If you've never ever flown an R/C before, I'd recomend starting off with a $30.00 Wattage "Rookie". It's good for learning throttle and rudder. It takes lots of crashes and can be repaired quickly with 5 minute epoxy. Comes with it's own controller (transmitter). The plane's lithium recharges on the back of the controller. Even now, I never go anywhere without it. A bunch of us at work ar flying them. Total investment is $30.00 + 6 AA batteries. They say light breezes but I've flown it in much more. Stay away from K-mart/WalMart "crash & trash" flyers. They break easily.
I also fly a Clancy Lazy Bee RTF. There are always sales for these for about $100 bucks, radio included. Mine flew great but would get so high very fast. And seemed senstive on pitch. Now I Start out with about 80% to 90% power and it climbs slower and not so sensitive. Landings were never good at first. I fixed it a lot with 5 minute epoxy. But it's survived my learning curve. Today marked a milestone for me. It was the first time I used both batteries. I had 5 flights. And every landing was great. The last one at my feet! I took wifey out with me this time. I got her going on the rookie. She had fun, but it didn't grab her the way it did me.
On one flight today, there was a bunch of seagulls circling overhead. I thought maybe it's a thermal but it turned out my 2 year old son dropped a bunch of butter crackers and they were just waiting for him to get out of the way.
You want to see an easy electric glider RTF video? If I had to do it all overagain, I might get this one. But I'm drawn to the glider part of this hobby more and more. www.hobby-lobby.com/easystar.htm The owner of the local hobby shop recomends the "slow stick" Which is about $35.00 but when you get everything you need to make it fly it's about $200.00. But it's a significant airplane and looks to be a slightly better flyer than the lazy bee. Of course there are many many great planes out there to start on. Your mileage may vary.
It's better if you have someone experienced to bail you out of trouble. Nothing worse than to have your $200+ investment in a pile of rubble. I'm sure this hobby looses many people that way. Good luck and keep us posted!
Oh yeah, You can get the lazy bee at a lot of places. I got mine and the rookie at www.hobbypeople.net .

well ive been flying for about 2 years now and i can fly just about any airplane that i can think of... i have never flown 3D and this will be my 1st time...although i have done lots of 3D on the Realflight simulator and it seems pretty easy...i have done plenty of aerobatics with different airplanes also so i dont think it will be a problem...i just want something fun, fast and RTF and i think the typhoon 3d is what im gonna go with.

I just added the typhoon 3D to the poll...b/c i believe that im gonna get it instead of the other 2...
