Hello from england!!
 

Hey, i have flown rc helis for a few years now and my recent Trex 250 crash was a end for that hobby.I ended it because well i got bored of just not being able to glide it in. So i decided to look into a decent trainer plane and i found the R/C wild hawk sky. So, I've got a simulator and told the missis this is what i want for xmas and i know she got it... (i looked under the bed) :D so im counting down untill xmas so i can take this thing out for a flight. Anyone had any experiance with this plane? I hope it is as good as RC super powers Youtube channel and fourm makes it out to be :D so thanks for reading this and i hope to be flying planks and sticks from now on :D

Welcome to RCU. So far I haven't seen the plane at the field so I haven't a clue as to how it will fly but it's getting good reviews.

Thanks for the comments guys. I will highlite that i have a degree in meterolgy ( weather) so i can read charts well and when looking i can tell where updrafts are and where there are higher wind speeds and meteorological changes. Thanks again

A few questions about the theroy of dhiedral (sorry bout spelling) The more i turn left or right leaning it the more it wants to corect it right? If it is then dose i work when turning it useing the rudder?

You made me spill my drink laughing. If I were you I would go with Traxxas rc cars. They cheap, durable and nobody gives a crap about'em.

Food for thought.

<span data-jsid="text"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS"><span style="line-height: 115%; font-size: 12pt">I don't have any personal experience with the Trex 250 directly, but I do have a few suggestions for good styles of planes that would work best for someone who is transfering from RC helis to RC airplanes. A park flyer would be my number one suggestion because they are cheap to purchase and typically can be fixed with glue and a little elbow grease if you do happen to have a bad crash. If you do want to a full bodied remote control plane to start off with I suggest you make sure it has a few of these characteristic.<span style="line-height: 115%; font-size: 12pt"> A good trainer style airplane will have these basic characteristics: a tricycle landing gear, low center of gravity, and wings that are angled and flat bottomed. A tricyclelanding gear means that the RC airplane has 3 fixed wheels which allows for more directional control when taking off and landing then those with the tail dragger style landing gear. A low center of gravity means that the wings arelocated above the fuselage which helps to keep the plane flying some smoothly. When the wings are located below the fuselage then the center of gravity is high on the airplane and gravity is always trying to make the plane fly upside down. The wings of the RC airplane make up a large portion of its body and should have a dihedral angle which forces the airplane to self-correct into a straight and level flight path if the controls are released during flight. The wings should also be flat bottom which causes the air traveling over the wing to go at a slower pace than the air flowing below the wing allowing the airplane to sustain flight at a slower speed.

Please check out this link (http://allthingsrc.net/electric.php) to take a look at some information I have on electric RC airplanes and different styles of planes.
