Oh good, he's back. and I see he's as polite as ever.

If cheap is a major concern, try the SPAD forum.

OK, I've flown my trainer twice, and now I'm the best pilot on earth. I need a fast, cheap, model, and I don't believe ugly sticks are nice to look at.

I think any warbird should do, especially the extremely stable gullwing (corsair) models! [8D]

anyway, look at a SPAD design.

I want SPEED, a stable good-looking airplane that will go wherever i point it, .60 would be cool.

Gtac, you funny guy I give up. I don't get your joke. What does [Awaiting approval] mean?
It must be an inside joke or something. There was a guy who use to type that all the time a few weeks ago.

If u r back then why are you still banned??? Try a Tower Hobbies Uproar or a Great Planed Dazzler. Both kits are cheap, as are the ARFs. Or get the Hangar 9 Twist. Cheap, and easy to fly like a pro. All of these planes will make an average flyer look great.

Anyways, I like the cub because its a classic, good loking, scale plane. I like the corsair because it can be fast, its somewhat aerobatic, and also scale classic. But i need opinions from people who own a fast scale plane.

PS: I never was banned.

I just got ebay auction# 5901378055 .

I decided i wanted a fast, good quality, 60 size, 2nd plane, and the Sig Four star 60 gets it.

I need your help on a few other things still.
Im using my ALPHA's servos, rx and tx. I can do that right? Also i need 1 more servo will any work? Whats the extra servo for?
From experience how easy/hard was it to put together, any tips, suggestions?
What engine would YOU put on it? What would i need to put on it to call it "FAST" . My friends alpha 60, i dont know what it has but its slow.
What else will i need to buy?

The 4* 60 is a great airplane. It may not be what you want, but it's an excellent next step for you.

Hey U'er back:-) Where'd ya go..

Your radio should work.. Extra servo is for the Ailerons.. Fast..??
You need to get (2) 6" servo ext and a (1) "Y" connector..

I'm going to use a Mag 91 4s on mine.. But being as .60 size I'm
not sure it fits in the "fast" category.. It's a good second plane, to
further learn....
Clip the wings some, Get it a little tail heavy and it will get alittle
more aggressive..

I got the 4*60 as a second plane, Then was given a Dazzler.. If I got
the Dazzler before I bought the 4*.. I may have not gotten the 4*...
I'm now thinking of getting a Modeltech Magic Extra 300L ARF W/XLS
52

Is the 4* a bad plane.... NO..

Each plane is just a little different.. In teaching you the next level of
where you want to go..

It's just what you want to do.... But the Wallet dictates at least for me
the planes you can get..
