what the prerequisite for fly the GP Christen Eagle ARF?
 

i would love to fly that plane with a smoke system installed, but at the same time i dont want to chew off more than i can handle

i have been flying for 8yrs, but have taken the last 2 yrs off and i have started again with a trainer that i have been flying 2 months now, everything is coming back very quickly

but what should i jump to next before the the christen eagle bipe? a simpler bipe like the balsa usa eaa bipe or the sig hog bipe or maybe even something else??

any advice would be most helpfule

thanks

What were you flying before you quit? If you are going to jump to a bipe, the christen is as good as any. I would probably step to a somethin extra or edge or sportster first, then the bipe. Just my opinion though.

oh yeah i was going to mention that, well lets see, i have flown the GP decathalon, a ugly stick, i plans built the wild thing 40 from man plans - wow a great kicker-of-a-plane that was! uh... oh the gp easy sport 40, oh the h9 advance 40 and the small Cessna 182

thats pretty much it - at least for the "major" stuff - i havent really flown any "real" aerobatic planes, like the extras, edges, sukhoi etc. i was hoping to skip over those but at the same time i dont want to be stupid and bury the eagle on the first flight or for that matter any flight [:-]

so the only mono wing plane that i like is the sukhoi, i have seen the carl goldberg sukhoi fly and man that thing really lands slow, but maybe thats not good for what i want it for

thanks though for the response, anything else as per above?
