I've trained on an Avistar (and love the plane!), but I want something more aerobatic, low wing, and symetrical wing. I've pretty much settled on the Goldberg Tiger II or the Tiger 60.
- Should a second plane stay in the 40 size, or is it ok to move up to the 60?
- What are the pros and cons of choosing one over the other for a second plane?
- Does a 60 require a much larger take off, landing, and general flying area?
Thanks,
Doug
I am going to a 4* 60, I am lucky, I have an OS .61 and a OS .91 4 Stroke that I could put into the plane, so the engine is not an issue for me, plus, I want to use my OS .46 FX into a GP Corsair I have hanging in my son's room.
The only disadvantage of the bigger plane is getting an engine, and the fact that it burns fuel at a much higher rate than a .40 sized engine. I think once you get bigger than a .60 sized plane you should start to think about going to a Gas engine, just because the big Glow motors burn SO much fuel!
