Help me choose a plane!
Hey Guys!
After a small pause with rc planes I am now ready to start again:-)
I really haven"t flown my planes for a while now, and since my last flight ended up with a crash, I think I"ll have to bite the dust and buy myself a trainer...
So I will let my pattern planes and 3d planes hang in the ceiling for a while now..
you know, just to get the "feeling" back..
The thing is that I want to be honest with myself, and becouse of that I think I realise that I might went a little overboard when i bougth all the expensive models that I have, but that I don"t feel comfortable flying..
So since I"m not a beginner, what airplane would suit my need? A relaxing sport trainer, but I don"t know which!

A simple low wing trainer:
WM T34 Mentor
WM Skyraider Mach II (really cheap and nice!)
Phoenix Scanner
Black Horse Speed Air
All easy to fly and land with no bad habits.

RE: Help me choose a plane!
Just got home from the field (not much of a field but it works!)
I did 2 flights with my ucando 60, and it survived the day! Didn"t had much time but enough for 2 tanks.
So I guess I just have to fly as much as I can. Wow, just a little break from flying and it gets scary to fly again!

Why not just reduce the control throws a little on your ucando 60 and move the CG forward a little, BINGO! instant "sport trainer".

That is not a bad idea:-) But it seems to have a spot on cg right now! It hovers so easy, and it is almost underpowered with the 91surpass, so I don"t think I will change the cg..
I really like the nitromodels c-182 40 size, but there is so many planes available! So choosing a plane, ain"t easy!

RE: Help me choose a plane!
I guess I decide on the cessna..
But what with engine? a 52 or a 70 4stroke?
There is 20% discount on the 70..
Love the way that cessna looks! It seems so "real"
Oh, btw
Is my english horrible? I am working on it, but it is hard you know!
