Default which plane for OS 55AX

Looking for 2nd glow powered plane but I have a few years experience with gliders.

my glow trainer is now being flown to its limits so its time for something else.

I was thinking about a "stick" type plane but dont know the range too well
that is.. something trainer like for lazy flying but I can throw around when I want to...

whats suitable that you all know of?

thanks in advance.

The Hanger 9 Piper Pawnee is cub like plane that I use for relaxing flying. If you have the need for speed try Hanger 9's Sun Downer 50.

Would a calmato 60 have enough punch with a 55ax?


Honestly I'm looking for something non-scale.. not for relaxed flying as in "lazy" but for something that is "not valuable" ie not pretty that I dont want to scratch/damage and so not be nervous/cautious flying.....

I just bought a Hangar 9 Tango and put a 55AX in it. This is a great fun-fly plane and will do everthing. It's not an ultimate 3D machine, but it's a whole lot of fun to fly. One of the easiest ARF's I've ever assembled. The 55AX has plenty of power for it. Here's a link to a thread on the Tango:

No but a Calmato Sport 40 would be excellent. Very excellent. An Ultra Stick would also be good, and with the flaps option....... hoo hahhh

Tower Hobbies Kaos 40. Cheap and it will fly slow or fast. Well worth the money!

Truth is i'm not looking for a plane which will dart from one side of the field to the other....
I am starting to think of stretching the bank to a 40/46 size engine all the same... 52/55 planes just seem to be rare!? or are they just in existance to give "hyped up" 40s?
