I don't see why would any one recommend against this plane, it is a superb plane!
I started flying last seaon, been flying about 2 months before I got it and without thinking twice i striped my trainer and had the somethin' extra ready to fly, landed it myself on the second approch with no problem, and i'm not saying that i'm a great pilot, it's the plane, very very forgiving.

I guess a lot of times people lean to the conservative side when giving advice in here. I guess everyone is different. I hope I am happy with my four star. I think I will be. I seen a couple vids, but never seen one fly. Looks like it will be the difference between night and day from the LT 40. I can't wait it fly it. I want to build another plane now because there is nothing better to do with this weather.

my friend has a 4* and he is very pleased with it, I know you will be too, anything after the trainer is oh so much better.
and I know what you mean, I was so bored this winter I already built my first glider Gental Lady, and now in the process of building SU-27 by AKM which I purchased on ebay along with 3 other kits which should arrive any day (hey I wonder whats going on with that, they should have been here already)
so I think i'm set for this winter, I just hope i'll have enough winter to finish building them all.

I got back into the hobby after a 2 year absence. Started with this T-34 from Hanger 9. Very sweet plane. Flies nice and has retracts. Going to make a video this weekend of it doing its thing in the air.

Here are a few of my favorites:

The first is a Great Planes .20 Cub with a clipped wing (engine and radio removed, but otherwise flyable).
The second is a Great Planes Super Decathalon powered by an Enya .50CX.
The third is a Great Planes RV-4 powered with an OS .46 FX.
The fourth is a scratch built Corbin Baby Ace D powered by an OS .40 FS.

Hey wings,

Either plane would have been ok IMO. I had a nexstar for 3 weeks b4 I got my SE kit. I flew it the other day for the first time and it is more forgiving on landing than my nexstar, even in nasty wind. The trainer would float too much with a little elev. The SE just glided on in for a 3 point landing. My best landing to date with any plane was with the SE. My buddy got a 4* and was doing good also until he flew across the sun and put nose down, but tht was his mistake not the planes. Good luck with it, youll love it.

I will post a pic of my SE when I get a chance.

Cool, how do we add videos to the threat?

You have to have a website, then link it to your website.

I wish RCU had enough space for people to post their vids, that would rock!

I realize vids are big files, but it seems they could have a place where you could post them and they only stay posted for maybe a day, then automatically deleted. Or get deleted as space alloted runs out, in the reverse order they were posted. Just a thought.

Maybe Minnflyer will campaigned for us?[sm=idea.gif]

Wings

My Gental Lady is now officially ready to fly!

Here is a few...

First Plane is the mighty Avistar

Second is the Ultra Stick and Ex-Treme 330

The Third is the Ex-Treme 330

Here is my ultra stick. It flies really good. I got my courage up and tried the crow out. It really comes in slow using the crow. Notice the rain droplets. No lead anywhere and it balanced perfectly.

My "precedent electra fly" (sailplane) and greatplanes PT40 MKII, i dont have pics of my gp dazzler yet

my first airplane hobbico superstar. i had it on display for a while after i bought it and recently decided to start flying it.



i have made allot of progress flying it in the past month but my landings still need some work. some are bouncy and some are perfect.

Ineter!!! awesome Gir animation!

Nice planes!!

Here are some of mine.... an avistar and a e-starter

Here's a some of mine. The 4*60 has a Mario Bobble head doll as the pilot. After many modifications of course. The Ultra Stick 60?...well I just realized this is the only digital pic that I have of it. Actually, I have another just like this one. I replaced this one using the same electronics and engine. I like the Ultra Stick and plan to always have one in my collection.

Here's my trainer, and my friend/instructor Steven with his 1.50 size Lanier giant Stinger with a Brison 3.2, JR PCM receiver, Hitec servos, and JR 8103 controlling it. This is his first gasser. I also attached a pic of Steven's biplane, and I forget what it's called. It has blue/white checkering on the bottom of both wings. It looks awesome! It has a Supertigre .90 in it tuned by yours truly. [8D]
