Default Flatouts

Hello everyone,

I was just wondering if the RCUniverse biplane is as a good a flyer as the Reflection.. I would like to get a small profile plane for not $300++ dollars.. thanks alot. Oh by the way. I can fly RC planes pretty well and I know these are for intermedite pilots.


Thanks

James

do you already have a 4-6 channel radio? or does that have to be included in the $300?

The RCUniverse plane tracks better than a Reflection. The reflection tends to be a pretty wild plane, really 3D oriented. The reflection is truly a barnstormer.
The RCUniverse plane isnt as wild as the reflection is. Its a much more stable plane, since the tail is longer, it tends to really lock into a groove better than the reflection.
You cant go wrong with either. I like them both.

What planes have you flown before? Just wondering... you can always just use your old transmitter from your old planes.

Well...I just bought a typhoon a few weeks ago. Im pretty good. but its kinda big for the barn. I have also flown a .40 size glow Tiger 2. a trainer (Carl goldberg egle....I think) also .40 size glow. A .60 size piper cub and a scrash built mid wing plane that the plans suggused a electric setup....my dad and I put a .15 O.S LA on ....its a beast.. haha


Thanks

Of course it'll fly 3d, bdavison gave you a fairly good assesment. The RCU plane will do 3d, but the reflection will be able to do some more radical maneuvers, but the RCU biplane will do any 3d maneuver that any other flatout can. Good luck!
