RE: brushless
I fly
Multiplex micro jet (which I will hop up to brushless very soon [ perhaps his weekend ] I already got all of the parts needed)
Hobbico Ventura (Still using a brushed motor for the time being - and I am considering modding it to include landing gear and ailerons)
UltraFly F-16 Brushless
And will soon buy a
Parkzone F-27 Stryke C ARF [Almost Ready To Fly ] - Since I already have good radio equippment Propellors Adapters and LiPo batteries + charger etc.
Right now I'm yearning for Speed and High G maneouvers with an occasional chug-along with my Ventura powered glider (I just love flying this model!)
As for 3D planes I will not buy one unless I can proficiently Carry out most of the maneouvers in my flight simulators first
I'm using Two of them for now
Aerofly Professional and
the Free one called FMS or Flight Model Simulator
Both very good Both Very accurate
and I can use my standard transmitter on FMS so I'm good
Hope that helps.
