Hey all,
I have posted on here before about the Blade 400 and the T-28 Trojan I got. Well, for all you that helped me out I have not only flown my Trojan many times and crashed it 2-3 times but its still flying and it has a brother and a sister now. I now have the new Trojan (grey USAF) one and a Gunfighter Mustang. I have gotten pretty good at flying and landing now. No more fear baby!!!!
Now I am considering going to the next step. I would like to try Nitro Flight. I have always enjoyed the smells and sounds of nitro power so I was thinking why not try out flying nitro.
One of the LHS has a Tower 40 (N400TH) that looks like it has never been flown, complete with radio, battery and charger for $150. The motor looks brand new on it as well.
As someone who has only flown the Parkzone foamies, what advice can you give me on this aircraft(above) and what advice can you give someone who is transitioning from electric to glow?
Questions,
Would this aircraft be difficult for me to fly?
How hard is it to keep an aircraft nitro engine running and is it harder than say a nitro truck?
How big of a possiblility is it that these engines stall when throttled back for landing?
I fly my foamies in an undeveloped community area where there are just paved streets and streetlights.
Can I fly the Tower 40 there?
Please please please offer any advice or ask questions so I can learn about this before buying that plane.
Thanks
Robert
