Tell me about your flying field. How big? Runway? Clear of grass or bushes or what?

Secure or are there people walkng all over the place?

Your post has been here for a while and no one has offered help. I am offering.

Did you buy anything yet?

As to your questions:


<u>Misc. Questions</u><u>
</u>Does anyone have any feedback on the DX5e versus the Tactic TTX440? -

They both work.

How large of a flying area is recommended for planes such as these?

I would say a minimum of 600X600 or about 4 football fields. An experienced pilot can fly in less but a new pilot needs room. More space would be better. Isaid this was the minimum.


What accessories are recommended to start off with? Extra batteries, props, ACadapter, etc?

Assuming you get 10 minutes per battery pack, I would suggest 2 extra packs, 2 extra props.
A/C adapter assumes these have 12V chargers. So you can use an adapter or you can just charge them in your car.
Clear packing tape. CA glue. Odorless or foam safe works on wood and foam so get that one.
Some 5-10 minute epoxy will probably be useful as well.


Thinking long-term...what would be the logical next plane after a high-wing trainer?

There are hundreds to choose from. Get these flying first.


Are there any more good 4-ch models other than what I listed above?

Lots, but these are good choices.
