Default Ready for first aerobatic plane .....

I'm excited to say I have recently been flying a trainer for 2 months now and to my surprise its not hard at all. The only noticeable difference between glow and electric is the weight of the plane. My first fear was dead sticking the plane when the motor cut off but now this fear is gone since I had to do it three times. Oh yea cleaning up is a drag but hey its worth the flight. Any way, I'm now anxious to by a aerobatic plane that will fly with a .25-.36 engine. Glow only please , gas has to be fumy if you know what I mean and I'm already used to the smell of glow in my car don't need to add any different oders

PS does anybody know of a product that eliminates glow fuel oder ?

if cheap and almost indestructible sounds good then check out the multiplex skycat,i have owned 2 of them and they are superb fun,they are also very aerobatic but land easily like a trainer.

if you want one but can't find the i.c. version then buy the electric one anyway as you get the i.c. motor mount in with the electric one,all you have got to do then is sell the electric motor and you have lost nothing.
