RE: Advice on a 2nd plane
I would love to go glo powerd but my flying area really dosnt permit it as I have a 1500X2500' feild about 300' from my door but there are houses all around and I am sure a glo powerd plane will attract the wrong kind of attention so for this reason I want to stick with EP as I dont drive and that alone will cut my flight outting by about 65% ( belive me I have all the equipment for a glo powerd including flight box with bat and starter) so the electristar seems a pretty viable option. I did look over the T-28 but it has 2 strikes against it, Local availability of the plane and the parts aswell as it seems a lil light for wind. Electristar is 189.99 with 2 3200mah batts and a dual peak charger (I am in really tight with my LHS) but another option has surfaced and that is the aerobird swift I only look @ that as it is an alieron trainer and if I smash it to bits foam is easy and cheap to replace. and after I get used to it then I will look @ a 40 sized trainer (but this is more then likely a bad choice and may just delay my learning curve)
So just one question...can I fly an electristar on the tail surface alone and slowly work some alieron control in there?
