Default Kit advice

I could use some advice on buying a kit. I've been flying heli's for a while, but would like a plane for a change. I'm a good pilot, so I don't think switching over to planes should be too much trouble. I don't want a trainer because I'm afraid I'll get bored with it too quickly. What planes can be setup from mild to wild as I get the hang of it?

I've got a spare OS32 at home I'd like to use and like the profile planes. One of the guys at the club has a sig fazer which looks like a fun plane. I'd also like to keep the kit around $60-80. Any suggestions?

I think you would get bored with the Fazer or SomethinExtra with that 32. You'd be better off going to the 46 class motors. The 32 would pull the plane, but not many wild stunts. The profiles might be a good transition since they rarely tip stall as long as you have someone get you up and trims the plane first before you take over. At mid throttle, they are easy to make corrections by not being too crazy on surface movement.

go to
www.spadtothebone.com and build a small dogfighter or something of
the sort.. they have a bunch of planes that would fit your small
engine.

look at the tower uproar and build it light. It won't hover with that engine, but it will do anything else you throw at it. It is about $40 to $50 and easy to build.

Give it a try.
