Default RE: 1st 3-d capable plane

I've used this engine in 3 of these planes:

You'll have to do some modifications to the plane if you want it set up REALLY nice. But for $100 shipped to your door--it's well worth it.

If you decide to buy the plane and you want to know how to really set it up nice--shoot me an email or a PM and I'll tell you what to do with it. No sense in typing it all out here unless you actually decide to buy the plane.

The plane does fly slow, and it does all the moves. I like it because it's a full fuse. rather than a profile, and it's "scale". It goes together in about 2 evenings if you just want to build it stock. It takes about a week to really trick it out nice.

If you buy it and you slap that TH .75 on it---you better be real good at throttle management. No full throttle runs unless the nose is pionted straight up. Even then, I back off on it. This combo will accelerate straight up. It actually gains speed pulling out at full throttle, and it can get going too fast even going straight vertical. So, don't push that left stick much past 1/2 way on a regular basis or you'll rip it apart.
