Default can I get a different kit?


Hello guys, I am new in planes (being with helis for almost 1 year) and I put together bymyself a ARF hangar 9 kit of the mustang. The instructions were pretty clear. After 1 month, I learned how to fly and now I can take off and land without problems (I can fly inverted, rolls, flips, loops, stalls, etc, etc). I want another plane.... can I get any other brand? for example Nitro Planes????? it's what I wanted at the beginning but people in this forum recommended me to get the hangar 9 as first plane because the instructions were pretty clear (and they are).....

Now that I had my first experience assembling a ARF, can I get any other brand???? what about the planes? can I get any other plane? like an edge or extra 300??? Thanks

I would say you could - just be aware that Nitroplanes come with little or no assembly instructions - so you'd better be good at figuring things out for yourself

The quality of the ones I have seen was very good, but the hardware often needs replacing.

What type of flying do you want to do? Thinking 3D? Sport? Pattern? A Edge 540 is an excellent frame and would probably make you very happy. I have a few of them and they are hands down my favorite.

There are lots of good reputable mfgr's of planes out there. Nitro planes would be the last one I would recommend to you and your a stranger. I would say check tower and horizon and look long and hard at all your options. They will seem endless.

matador_24. I agree with mr.mugen. Stick with the Great Planes, Sig, Towere etc. I've had the GP, Sig,& tower planes & a couple of Nitros. The Nitros are NOT a bad ARF at all,but the lack of instructions can kill you. It is so easy to think, " OK, I built one now I'm ready for anything" To be frankly honest with you, you need MORE than one build before you will be ready for a Nitro Plane.
