Hello,

My choice is not on your list, although the first reply in this thread also voted for it. I say world models T-34 Mentor. Why do I say this? Prolly the biggest reason is that it will go like a rocketship on a 46. This plane is really light. I am an advanced flyer and recently my buddy got one of these and I helped put it together for him. I currently fly an aeroworks edge and one day at the field, he let me try the little T-34 out. All I can say is wow! This thing is soooo smooth. Feels more like a pattern ship to me anyways. You can slow it to a crawl and it wont drop a wing. It has outstanding vertical on a 46 (not a hoverer mind you, but you can just about do it but the surfaces are too small). It is a great high quality kit that goes together so easily. It also does not look half bad. When we did my buddy's we deviated from the plans a little. I mounted his Thunder Tiger 46 inverted. It came out looking great. Landing this thing is a no brainer. The overall good qualities of this plane are really due to its lightness. I am sure it has a low wing loading. The long and the short of it is that I liked it so much, I bought one too! I put it together and spent a little more time on the linkages (I am really anal with my linkages). I threw out the wire and tubes (they were metric) and substituted gold n rod and Dave Brown fiberglass pushrods. I made sure that the linkage geometry was perfect and now I have slop free smooth linkages for everything (trust me, this is a feat with trike gear models where the rudder has to be connected with the nose wheel). I will use this as my "no fear" plane. I practice my inverted flight with it. It flies great inverted. When I say inverted, I mean I will fly a whole flight completely inverted, the pattern, everything. I will flip it back to normal just before landing. Anyway, I am rambling at this point, but my vote is for the T-34.

Good Luck,

P.S- It is wallet friendly too
