Hi

I am looking for a low wing trainer with a conventinal undercarraige/ tail wheel around the .40 size. I would prefer a kit rather than ARTF.

My flight experience is alot in slope soaring, but i used to have a chris foss wot 4 a few years ago. Ive just ordered a smith mini plane but i want to hone in my powered flight skills.

Thanks

Jeremy

My first suggestion is to only post a ? in one forum. Now I've flown the GP Super sportster and it is a kitten but the Kit is discontinued only arf now and it is horribly UGLY. Sonic low wing is very nice but .25 size and ARF. go with a 4 star everyone here loves them. I'vre never flown it but hear it is great

4*40, 4*60? mayhaps???

Have a look at the World Models Skyraider Mach II

WM SkyRaider Mach II - is a nice plane to fly and can be fast for pylon racing
WM T34 Mentor - very smooth flying plane, one of the best 1st low wing plane
WM Super Sport - very nice agile plane, good for a confident and capable newbie
Phoenix Scanner - nice 1st low wing, cheap and nice to fly
WM Rambler 45 - very stable and big 40 sized plane, easy to fly and looks great in the air

I'm looking for a low wing also for my second plane. I think im going with either the Phoenix strega, or the Goldberg Tiger 2, or Tiger 60.

I've been hearing that the tiger line is a pretty good start for low wings.

Thunder Tiger Lazy Tiger P-51 ARF its a .25-.30 size plane. Some have put .40 size engines in them . I am hating how slow it flies, how flawless it, lands and takes off. Not a challenge at all but this is what you need for a second plane.


PS I guess you are going to skip the flat winged trainer. [:-]

You can't go wrong with the Tiger 2. I have one and it can be as wild as you want or as docile. For a low-wing, it slows down nicely for landing. The .40 size is a large aircraft, bigger than you think. Mine is powered with a Thunder Tiger .46 and that's plenty of power and a great engine.

My first low wing was the Sig 4 star 60 size with an O.S LA65. It was sooo easy to fly. You can't go wrong with it.

my vote go to the Sig 4* or the Sky Raider Mach II

i agree with the 4*. the Modeltech Dragon lady is also worth considering.

The 4* series seems to be the general concensus here. At least that is the model that was most reccomended as a second plane to me. The Sig Something Extra has also been mentioned to me as an easy first build, and a good second plane. Good luck with what ever you choose.
