First Kit
Hey guys,
So Ive been on the alpha 40 all summer, Buddy boxed on a friends tiger 2 and astro hog. Ive been soloed for a bit over a month. I had one crash and rebuild that had me rebuilding the fire wall, the nose and some wing damage, I also took the time to remove the dehedrial from the wing so i now have a flat wing. Yesterday was the first time flying it after the rebuild and damn almost feels as nimble as the tiger 2. But thats neither here nor there, I write this post like i stated about my first kit. I mentioned the rebuild because it gave me much alot of insight into the construction of these planes. I really learned alot from that rebuild and my instructor for flying also instructed me on the rebuild.
I plan buying the gp escapade and moving the 46ax from my alpha to the escapade. I have a JR 632 radio i bought used with 2 recievers so i have a reciever for the escapade then ill probably get a ST or TT engine for the alpha.
But what im building up to is I really want to get a kit for over the winter. I have access to all the tools I need to build as there is a aero modelers club at RIT (my college) which i plan on joining once the school year starts back up. But i really want a 60 size kit. It didnt seem like there were many good first time kit builder choices in the 60 size on tower. though im pretty sure I could handel a some what complicated kit. I do plenty of tinkering, as im a mech eng student and have been into car restoration for a few years. So im pretty decent with tools and such. So what kits would you recommend for my situation. I put a post up a week or so ago and got lots of 40 size recs but im pretty sure i definatly want at least a 60 size.
And as much as i loved the time i buddy boxed on bingofield's tiger I kinda wanna try something new.
Thanks for all the help.
