Hey everyone,
I have always wanted to get a nitro Rc plane. I am looking for an Acrobatic ARF nitro plane under 45 inches long. I wil be using an OS .25 LA nitro engine with a AR5000 reciever and DXe-5 transmiter. i know i should be using a bigger transmiter/reciever unit or whatever but this will do. im looking for a plane that is either 4-5 channels and as i said uses .25 nitro engine.Ihavealready lookedaround the web and me LHSand found at nitroplanes.com New Yak 54 3D Fuel/Electric 25 - 45.5" and a New Edge 540 25 - 45" ARF Nitro Gas & EP RC plane. this size plane would be good for me but, iv seen the reviews and they werent what i wanted to hear but im glad i now know. the price range was also really good for me and got my attention. as i can see those probably are not gunna work just because there are so many flaws with the plane and the fact they arent very good fliers which also means poor if any acrobatic skills. if anybody has any ideas or has any imput on plane suggestionsor if those planes are anygoodplease feel free to comment.

How about a combat corsair or mustang?

You do have flying experience, right?

If you can go slightly larger than 46", I've heard the Phoenix Models Sonic is a good aerobat in the .25 size.

EDIT: Also, the DX5e and AR500 are both full range radio and receiver. So you don't need to go larger. This combination will fly 95% of the models available.

I second the motion for a Phoenix Sonic. An excellent flyer and a good ARF to assemble. Good luck.

First question is, what is your level of flying experience? That will be a very big factor in determining which airplane to purchase.

same question from me. Lets find out where you are and lets take it from there
