Thank you gentlemen, this is invaluable information... I may go ahead an pull the trigger on that and see....while also trying to avoid the "Ready, Fire, Aim" mentality. If the worst happens, Ill know better the next time but it never hurts to try. The combo I have been staring at is a 75" Edge 540 with a SPE 26cc engine. It looks fairly well built, but information on the manufacturer is limited. Its on texasrcplanes.com, the red bull 26cc combo. After I am proficient with a 3D capable aircraft I eventually want to get into the 150cc size planes. Granted, this is years down the road, but as I said I am not crazy about the looks of alot of the 40 and 60 size low wing trainers and sport airplanes. The super sportster is somewhat attractive in my opinion, but after learning with that, and then getting a larger gasser, I will more than likely lose interest in the Super Sportster and park it on a shelf somewhere. Same goes with a giant stick...thought about getting a giant stick with a small gas engine. However I would eventually outgrow it and be limited once I am proficient with all of its capabilities.

I am thinking the 26cc is a tad bit on the low power end of the spectrum for a 75" aerobat, so hopefully it would be a bit tame. Im going to think on it a bit more, and if I do decide to get it I will employ some help from the local club members around here to help me set her up and perform the maiden. Who knows, after I get the bill for my wife's christmas shopping I may have to go back to my little electric cub!

Thanks again,
TonyG
