Default RE: Just getting started...

Thanks for the response Oz.

I'm not really sure what I'll end up getting into, but for now I like to do steep climbs, dives, loops, and rolls... tight circles. I don't want to get into anything that won't fit easily in the trunk of my car, I also want to stay with electric. I'm still working on the foamy, so once I get that done I'll get a chance to try some 3D stuff and see how I like that. For now I'd like something that will let me do what I'm doing better... I find the Cessna really slow on rolls, and a bit weak on power at times.

I'm finding it a bit difficult to land in the wind with such a light plane... seems if I slow down too much and a gust comes, I go up 3-5 feet, so it becomes difficult to control. It seems to go a lot better in G3.5 - landings are quite smooth each time around. I guess it will just take practice.
