Please help me decide!
I am the type of person who can NEVER decide on anything. I am looking to move up from my aileron trainer and get something much more exciting. I am on an Extremely strict budget of $200. Below is a list of what i am considering. Please help me make up my mind!
I like speed and combat type flying but i have a desire to learn more serious acrobatics. I also enjoy indoor flying. These have brushless motoer and lipo batteries. -Parkflyers Gee Bee - Fun looking 3D for the court in front of my house. $160 RTF -Parkflyers Edge 540 - Fun looking aerobat. $189 rtf -Nitro planes Yak 54- Another fun aerobat. 2.4ghz. $189 rtf -Nitro planes Art-Tech Corsair - I love the looks of this. 2.4ghz. $189 rtf These have brushed motors. -BananaHobby.com 370 Corsair $99 RTF and Plantraco Micro Butterfly $99 RTF on sale. Watch the corsair video on Bananahobby.com, its quite amazing for a $99 airplane. -BananaHobby.com 370 Corsair $99 RTF and BananaHobby.com T-34 Texan $99 RTF. Im leaning towards the Yak 54 but still need some input! |
RE: Please help me decide!
It looks like you want to buy an RTF vs. building a plane from someone like Stevens Aero or Mountain Models?
Do you already have batteries and a radio? Frank |
RE: Please help me decide!
The only lipo i have is for my Parkzone Radian. 3cell 1800mah. I dont have any radios available. My other planes are Parkzone Radian, Hobbyzone supercub, Gws Slow Stick, Parkflyers BeginAir, and Micro Cessna. I have flown the parkzone T-28 and Corsair and they are both great fun but a little out of my price range. The reason i like the Nitroplanes models is because they both come with 2.4ghz radios even if they are the cheapos.

Lol, I am also the type of person that can never decide, and its not fun at all:D
If you enjoy indoor flying, what about the electrifly pluma? I got mine today and I`m super impressed. Good luck:) |
RE: Please help me decide!
I just saw a pluma fly saturday and it was pretty sweet. Our gym is pretty small and the micros from parkzone are what most of us fly. I thought the micro butterfly would be a cool indoor that most people havent seen. I guess i should have told you all that all my flying outdoors is at a public park in a 6 acre field where other rc'ers fly. So parkflyer size is what i after.

RE: Please help me decide!
art tech edge 540 :D Those micros from parkzone are pretty sweet, guess I`ll have to get one!
|
RE: Please help me decide!
Do you think the edge would be better than the yak 54? I like the yak because its 2.4ghz. I forgot another one that i really like, the F-18 Blue angels from hobby-lobby, but it only has 5 minute flight times.[:o]

RE: Please help me decide!
I know that the edge weighs about 580grams and the motor has about 600grams of thrust so there will be no hovering with it, you may be able to "hang in the prop" but not to pull out of hover. The yak weighs over 600 grams but I do not know which motor it comes with though;)
I think the yak looks better than the edge, but thats just my opinion;) Oh, dont forget that we suffers from something called "we cant make up our minds" :D |
RE: Please help me decide!
So i guess the video of the edge must be a hopped up version. It shows hovers with vertical climbout and all sorts of stuff. I guess i will look into reviews done on these planes outside of their websites.
