under powered planes for beginners
why do manufactures insist on putting under powered planes out there for beginners? I have a hobbico j3 cub and a hobby zone slow v I got from 2 different people who will never be part of this great hobby again. They got discouraged when they could not fly these planes and sold them cheap when they gave up. good for me but bad for our hobby! I have had to do extensive modifications to both to get them to fly. Both are now brushless with lipo power and fly pretty well now. I tried to fly both in stock form and struggled to do so. I am far from an expert but I can fly and just feel that a beginners plane should at least give someone a chance. I know using an instructor is best but still these manufactures should at least put a product out there that one could possibly fly with some success. Anybody ever encountered this before or is it just me?
