I am a sixteen year old boy from Iowa. I am trying to learn how to fly with minimal damage. My H9 Alpha is good for now but I would like to get a plane to work on in the winter. I like the ratings for the Sig Astro Hog but wondered what previous users have to say about it? All input is greatly appreciated.

its a really good plane

but may be you should look at different models like the sig four star and the gp ultra sport or the supersportster??

check out my pole cause im also trying to chose a second plane in the same stuck situation??

my pole is is under (check out my pole)

astro hog would make a great second plane . BUT you have to really build this plane (no laser cutting) so if you are not confident in your building a 4* or a mid star would make a better choice . the midwest starduster is a great first kit goes together like a big puzzle.

The hog is an excellent slow flying plane.
You will love it.
I would recommend the 40 size version.

Does the Hog come in different sizes? I thought it only came in one size, and the sig site recomends a .45 - .60 engine.

Eventually, I must have one! It's been my favorite plane since I first started looking at RC planes (~15 years ago -- unfortunately i never finished my Kadet Senior, and found other things to occupy my time for 15 years)

I'm still debating whether I want to tackle it as my second kit though (My first will be an LT-25... get spoiled right away by laser cut parts!) I'm afraid I'll be in for culture shock when I open the Hog box if the LT-25 is the only kit I build first...

hey joe, check your PM's
