Default RE: Please Help picking second plane...


ORIGINAL: Zeeb

There are LOTS of options out there, perhaps a pertinent question migh be; how much do you want to spend?

Because bigger fly's better.....

But the price tag starts going up dramatically when you move up size wise. You say that you "may need a new motor and that's fine" but don't say how big or how much you'd like to spend.

I would suggest that you first decide based on your wallet, radio capabilities (i.e. bigger models usually have dual elevator servos and some mid range radios don't support that so other methods/solutions must be found) and where you want to go?

As I said there are lots of options, but generally speaking as you start getting into some bigger stuff and want an aerobatic model the Yaks/Edges/Extras from various manufacturers are the way most folks go.
Ok, understandable. I am willing to put 1500 into the plane and engine no radio gear. I will be switching to the spektrum 9 ch. radio in a couple of months. Not sure if it is capable of the functions I need because I'm not sure what those are...
I was figuring around 8 to 9 hundred for the plane if that. The rest for a power house engine.
Bigger flys better for sure ! In the helis as well...
What do you think of this Yak kit [link=http://ak-models.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=AKM&Product_Co de=RM-37&Category_Code=RichModel_GasPower]Giant Yak 30%[/link]
So i guess I am looking for bigger than originally specified. This kit is under 500 and over 80" wing.
