Default RE: Second Plane

Hi!
After having been in this hobby since 1975 I would not recommend a "You can do" for a second plane. A much better plane would be a more aerobatic plane in the . 40 size range , not a slow flying 3D plane like the "You can do" series (.40 and .60).

Look for a sleek low winged plane made for a .40-.46 two stroke engine. There are several in ARF to choose from but a old favorite of mine, as being a pylon flier at heart, is the old, original "Q-500" made by Glenn Spickler in in 1972. This plane has just a simple box fuselage and straight constant cord wing and doesn't look that good...but it flies real good ,is tough and can do any maneuver you want.
Top speed with a Webra .40 GT or ASP .40 using ordinary 80/20 fuel and 10x6 RAM prop is 180km/h.
