T-34 mentor arf
Hello all,
The reason i am writing this is so that i can get suggestions?
I have been flying helis for the last 4plus years and want to have some
fun with airplanes again! The T-34 really catches my eye and would like
to get one but as i said been out of the planks for some time,
so i need some opinion from you flyers on which one i should consider?
Would like to purchase something that will last hopefully more than a couple
flights without constant repair. I can FLY.
Not looking for something giant scale maybe in the 40-60 range??
Thanks for helping
Johnny

World Model makes an excellent T-34. Rugged, easy assembly and an absolutely terrific flyer. It is VERY stand off scale, but a handsome model particularly with after market decals. Hangar 9 also has a nice looking T-34 as well.

The T34 is a good looking plane, there are some big threads on its big brother the T28 Trojan which is also a great aircraft. Black Horse put out the T28 Trojan it is a 60 size although I flew mine with a TT91FS. It only needed a 72 FS so the next one will have the smaller engine in it. They also have a smaller version which is a good looking bird and I flew one of those with a Magnum 52 FS in it. Grossly overpowered only needs something like a 40 FS up front
The T28 doesn't have retracts if that is what you are looking for.

RE: T-34 mentor arf
I have a current thread going on the new CMPro T-34. It is a .40 size plane and good quality for the price (compared to the H9 T-34 which is about $80 more). I thinkthat it is a very pretty plane. Hope to test fly it in teh next few weeks. It also has retracts preinstalled, but I would go ahead and order some Hobbico or H9 retracts and just replace the preinstalled ones. If you read my thread, you will see why. The cost is cheap for the new retracts. I have some new Hobbicos on order right now.
