Hello Everyone, My name is Joe and im new to rc aircraft. To make a long story short, I wanted to try and fly and rc plan and bought a Nexstar Mini EP Trainer. When I unpacked the box I noticed the nexstar was made from some type of wood and plastic so I decided not to fly it. Instead I went out and bought a Sukhoi Ultra Micro plane before realizing that it was for experienced pilots not for a pilot who had never flown before. Either way it was only 80 dollars so what the heck the faom seemed more crash resistant then the wood plastic combo. I went down to the local feild and managed to get the plane up in the air and land it twice. A few days after the Maiden I went to fly in a bit more wind about 10mph and I crashed the Sukhoi and bent the prop shaft.
I need to find a good plane pref made from foam that can roll and loop, I assume 3D is the term that can fly at 50- 60% throttle and not get to trashed in a 5- 10mph wind cause that seems to be a normal speed. Any comments on anything mentioned above helps me out because I dont have anyone that has done thins b4 and my local hobby shop is 90% car / truck. Thanks.
