GWS FORMOSA FOR THIRD PLANE?
 
I'VE BEEN THROUGH 3 PLANES NOW. I'VE HAD A SLOW STICK THAT I COULD FLY PERFECTLY EXCEPT FOR A SQUIRRILY LANDING HERE AND THERE. I ALSO HAD A GREAT PLANES J-3 CUB. I COULD FLY IT GOOD. IT WAS JUST UNDER POWERED. I FLEW MY NEIGHBORS CARL GOLDBERG EAGLE 400 AND IT WAS A HOOT!! I JUST DONT WANT A HIGH WING ANYMORE. IM SICK OF ONLY HAVING A RUDDER FOR STEERING TOO. IS THE FORMOSA TOO MUCH FOR ME? (POWER AND AEROBATICS WISE). DOES THIS PLANE FLY GOOD? SUGGESTIONS ON OTHER PLANES IF ANY?

I would also say the formosa is a good choice. It flys good, and is very stable. Ive got the large EPP foam one that is all molded, not the flat depron 3D indoor ship. Its a nice flying plane.

Its an outdoor only plane. If you build the big formosa, get a 6ch reciever. Install retracts in it, its already got the cut outs in the wings for it, and use TWO aileron servos so you can program flaperons or spoilers.

Its not much of a 3D ship, but if you just want a smooth flying sport plane. Its a good low-wing flyer.
