RE: Beyond trainers: a universe of diverse models-Which is which?
No particular kind of planes.
The first posts have very well explained the main reasons that make the differences among models beyond the trainer type (high and low wing).
I had the dumb idea that a thread like this would help any graduated beginner pilot to learn general information about many different types of aerial RC models and disciplines.
That would serve two purposes:
1) General RC culture.
2) Guidance for selecting a specific branch in which developing skills (sort of career guidance at high school).
I have been around this forum for a while, and I believe that type of information for the what-is-next-pilot is not sufficient.
I now understand that discussing the flight characteristics of so broad array of existing RC models reaches beyond the scope of the Beginners forum, attracts no much attention (according to participation so far), and is hard to try even for the more experienced posters.[&o]
I believed that many inexperienced RC pilots were bothered for words spoken around them that didn’t really describe the particulars of a specific model.
In my case, those words related to RC models were: “performance” and “advanced”.
I really appreciate your posts in this thread, Jester; they have been awesome.[sm=thumbs_up.gif]
