Im new at the 3D stuff but if I got a 50cc plane it wouldnt see 3D for a while. I plan on practicing with smaller stuff before trying it on a 50cc plane. But I would like to have a 50cc in possesion when I get ready to go for it, that way I can already be familiar with flying the plane. Also after looking at a lot of 50cc planes I have enough room in my vehicle. The Funtana is my first 3D plane and after only 2 times of flying it I was trying to hover about 25 feet in the air. I did pretty good thanks to all the sim time. The only thing was when your motor dies 25 foot off the ground its not fun. I was able to get a little speed and level it out but still it got my landing gear. Once again I dont plan on going out and throwing the gasser plane around I plan to be fairly decent at 3D before even trying. My main thing right now is just hovering, flat spins, and some high alpha flight but with altitude. After the other day even if I can hover safely 20-25 off the ground until I get used to tuning four strokes and have it running perfect I believe Ill get a little higher. I really have to be careful with the planes I have since I dont have the money to repair and replace them all the time. What do you guys think about buying a used 50cc plane.
