ok, ill start off by listing everything i have and my plans.

i currently have -2 F27B's (my beginner planes)
-1 F27C (intimidating, but can fly it very conservatively)
- FS One simulator

i love my F27's because theyre fun, reasonably easy (with a little practice with the C) and they can handle the north Tx wind. Yes, i live in north texas, and if you live near me (dfw) the wind is unbelievable. My current planes were given to me by my uncle who got me hooked. The thing is, i want to someday progress to a wider variety of planes, besides the go-fast foamies i have now. Im planning on geting the Specktrum DX-6i and wanting a plane that'll be cool, PNP/BNF/ARF, under 200 bucks, preferrably electric and will fly well with wind

any comments/fyi's/warnings on the DX-6i?
any suggestions on planes for me?

anything is helpful
thanks!
Michael

nothing? [&o]

I don't even know what "PNP" and "BNF" stand for. [] I take it "PNP" does not refer to the wiring of a transistor in common parlance anymore. "Plug and play?"

BNF - "Big Noisy F-er?" THAT I can help you with but it won't be an electric.

BNF is Bind N Fly

the soon-to-be-released Parkzone Vapor (micro indoor flyer) is BNF.

my uncle was explaining that all you have to do is program the reciever *built in* to your Spektrum transmitter & youre ready to fly

i think its a new setup?

PNP is Plug N Play (get a transmitter, reciever, and servos installed to fly)

You do intend to fly it yourself?

Sorry. No help here. If it ain't noisy and messy and something I can tinker with, tweak and "improve" it doesn't engage me.

well thanks anyway.

anyone else??

Sounds like you already know about these, But [link=http://www.hooked-on-rc-airplanes.com/ParkZone-Airplanes.html]Park Zone[/link] has BNF and PNP planes that might suit ya. The Parkzone T-28 Trojan RTF is a sweet airplane. Comes with a brushless motor and LiPo batteries. Just make sure you are up for it, its not a beginners plane.


Most of the [link=http://www.hooked-on-rc-airplanes.com/hobby-zone-rc.html]Hobby Zone[/link] planes fall within your price range, not so sure about flying well in much wind though.


The DX6i is a good radio, full range...
