I don't think you can beat a world models skyraider mach 2 as the ultimate 2nd plane. Doea it all and it's only 70 bucks. I've been flying for years yet it still provides enjoyment for me. Knife edge circles are fun with it. I have a super tigre 51 on mine and it's ballistic. Flew fine with the Supertigre 40 I previously had on there. Here's mine.
Looks good. This would be a great plane for me and something for my kid to fly after he learns on his trainer. How much of it is pre built? How long to put it together? I could not find too many reviews on it.
It's definitely the most complete and quickest assembling ARF I've "built". All flying surfaces are already hinged and glued in place. THe tail feathers interlock then bolt together so no glue needed back there. I was nervous about a bolt in tail but mine hasn't even come loose in about 150 flights. Basically just glue the wing halves together (5 min epoxy) and mount the engine, then hook up the hardware. Hardware is decent and went on in reocrd time thanks to having the pilot holes PRE-drilled! No alignment needed. Mine might have taken 4 hours to complete tops and that was me just double and triple checking things. Next one most likely can be built in under 3. I'm very impressed with the quality of this ARF for an absurdely low price.
If you search this forum there's tons of reviews.
