Default Need help trying to pick out a plane

Well i am trying to pick out a plane that has the x-port combat system. I have flown the firebird commanders before and i did pretty good with those and i think i could use a step up. I really like the 9 cell war birds like the P-51. but some people say that there a pretty big step up. but i was also looking at the super cub which is spose to be a little easyier to fly, and it has landing gear which i really liked about it. If there are any other planes please tell me about them. i really dont want a plane im going to crash on the first day. but i dont want a plane that is a boring a the fire bird commander. Thanks for any help! [8D]

The X-port is only available on HobbyZone and ParkZone planes

www.hobbyzonesports.com

www.parkzone.com

Not all of their planes have the X-port so you have to read the specs.

The Hobbyzone Aerobird Challenger and Xtreme have it for sure

The ParkZone Stryker and Stryker B have the X-port but I am pretty sure the C does not.

The new Super Cub has it as well.

You will find a lot more on these planes and other electic planes in the Electric Universe which is a few forums down. This forum is more for fuel planes.

Some people say that the mustang is a huge step up from the super cub. is that true? if so i think i might just got with the super cub.

Yes, I would say any mid lor low wing plane would be a big step up from the Cub. The Parkzone mustang also has a reputation of being underpowered which will make it harder to handle.

You can fly the Commanders against the Cub in combat. It will be tons of fun!

The Cub will be faster and more manauverable but it will still be a battle worth having!
