What plane next?
Hi, I have been flying RC airplanes for about 2 1/2 months now (flying every weekend.) I recently got the Twist 40 with a really nice setup (OS .46 AX S3001 Servos a 6.0v 1650mAh batt, and an 8 channel Rx) And plan to maiden it this weekend. I know this isn't the best second plane, but it was on sale for 85 dollars so I had to. I think I am really going to like 3D so thats why this post is on this forum. I know I am thinking ahead here, but my question to you is "What plane next?"
So far 4 planes have caught my eye, 3 of them are meant for 3D, the other one was recommended as an excellent over-all plane. (Keep in mind this will be for next summer with lits of sim time over the winter) I have been looking at the [link=http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=HAN4150]FuntanaX 50[/link] [link=http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=HAN4275]Showtime 40[/link] [link=http://www.sigmfg.com/cgi-bin/dpsmart.exe/MainMenuFV4.html?E+Sig]Sig Mayhem 40[/link] and the [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXH755&P=ML]Tiger 2[/link] If you think that these planes are very ill-suited for me, would you mind suggesting one that would suit my wants/needs? Thanks for your help :D Jack |

For the stuff you have I think you need to look at a MoJo 40. for beginer 3D Mojo is the most durable choice. And they fly great!

Profile
Mojo, Zero G, EF Edge. You can do it the easy way, or your way. |
RE: What plane next?
Well, I will have a profile by then, the Sig Fazer, I am planning on building it over the winter. I know that it's not a "3D specific" plane, and I am not into the profiles as much as I am the full fuselage :eek: So thats why I had those 4 picked out :)

Hi RC Jack, Take a serious Look at the Tower " Uproar" Very fast and easy building plane. It has a full fuse which I like over the profile type. I also have a Sig Fazer which is a good plane, but I think between the fuse vs. profile and the radio install, the "Uproar is better" I have had both for over 3 yrs each and I am building my second "Uproar" right now making some mods to it. I have won several club Fun Flys with the "Uproar" The climb and glide for one- I held a club record for 15 sec burn and got a 2 minute 25 second glide. Just check it out. The price is fantastic and with a OS Max .46 it will be a good combo -you will love it.:D Good luck Ed |

Wat about the fliton extra 330?:D

RE: What plane next?
the extra 330 by fliton is my favorite airplane and has been for 210+ flights. it really is a classic and i think everyone should own it. the performance is unreal! im leaning towards their new Inspire 60, which Mike EAst is doing a good build thread on. but yes, the Extra 330 should be in your list of what to possibly get!!!!
