So i have been flying for about two years, flying a electric great plane yak. I want to pick up a bnf 37% yak, 50-75cc and was wondering what is the best route. I was thinking of going to me field with my training or buddy cord and seeing if one of the giant guys would fly with me. Also is flying a giant any diff than my yak? Arethe flight caracteristics the same?
You are going to be hard pressed to find anyone willing to even buddy box you on a $3,000 - $4,000 plane with you. At 37% you will easilly be in the 100cc range by the way. I have a 50cc Extra 260 (Aeroworks) with a DA50-R and it's about 27%'ish at 87 in wing span and that's about a $2200 plane to buy and set up new. I would talk to your Giant Scale flyers and see if anyone would be willing or be willing to just go it alone before taking the plunge.
