Thinking of Buying Electric RTF
 

I thinking of buying a electric RC RTF because our club has aslo an electric Flight feild
Was thinking of buying the Flyzone RC SkyPilot RTF it seems to in my buget and the price is right at 119,99 ,and they also have the Cessna 180 4 channel RTF by flyzone for 159,99
But I read bad reports the the foam cessna,
Which is better because I just now learning on gas and going on to training on electric also,
any of you guys care to offer any answers?

RE: Thinking of Buying Electric RTF
 

I've been looking at the flyzone cessna, you heard bad on this plane? Also considering the superstar ep w/ ailerons. I hear you have to get a lipo for the stock motor to be sufficient. You mentioned 3 channel fliers, the supercub is supposed to be a good, tough flier.

RE: Thinking of Buying Electric RTF
 

I seen a supercub fly last week and was impressed .

If you are training with q 4 channel glow plane, an instructor and a buddy box then you will want to go to a 4 channel plane on electric too.

What is your budget?

Are you looking for something smaller or about the same size as the glow plane?

The planes you mentioned might be a bit much for a flyer trying to learn on his own but if you are receiving training, you should be OK with these.

You could also go for something a little more lively in the Parkzone Stryker B

or the super fast Stryker C.

or receiver read

Or a 3D electric RTF from Parkzone called the Typhoon.

If you want more of an electric version of your glow trainer then look at the Multiplex Magister, but put in the brushless upgrade.

I look forwad to your further input.

Multiplex Magister R/C Looks good at the right price
But Not an RTF I be spending for radio and servos radio stetup over again
I done enough getting that stuff with my nitros,
Gezzz don't they have Multiplex Magister R/C in RTF?
I'm tired of ARFs

I had a lame firebird it did not last for it cost the reciver and servo systen was cheap
it was dam kid toy.

I only want to spend 119.99 ot 130.99



I seen The that hobbico 2 wheeler electric
too costy but but ugly and an ARF

The Low wing 3Der looks nice a bit costy but the landing gear looks weak.


They have Multiplex Magister R/C RTF But Gezzz ! they want 345.99 for it dam it!

Have any you try the sky pilot or the cessna one?

RE: Thinking of Buying Electric RTF
 

I assumed you would have radio already so the $159 for the receiver ready Typhoon would be good. OK, not good.

Have not heard good things about the plane you mentioned.

Here are 4 channel that are close to your price, that I have heard good things about. Just remember if you buy cheap, you get cheap.

Wing Dragon 4 channel - $140

Parkflyers Cessna 182 4 Ch RTF - $180

Parkzone Super Cub:

RE: Thinking of Buying Electric RTF
 

Well the only thing about reciver plane is I don;t computer RC radio
the cessna looks good but costy
the other are just toys I see kids fly in parks
LOL I get laugh at in the club.

Wingdragon and easystar look they have the price tag on
they look like $20.00 planes

RE: Thinking of Buying Electric RTF
 

You don't need a computer radio for the RR planes.

As for toys, the Easy Star is probably the BEST self train plane on the market. For people learning on their own, this is my number one recommendation. Flies great and is very hard to destroy.

A lot of experienced flyers buy it too. Pop a brushless in it and it really moves. It is also great as a keep in the car or travel plane.

I hope you are successful finding the plane you like at the price you like.

I have a Futaba skysport radio 4 channel
but it not ment for mini servos and goes to my nitro sport plane

are they problems with the sky pilots RTFs
the Skypilot RTf is just only thing thing I can afford in my budget

The easy star is classified as a motorized glider ^^
the Firebird I had have the pusher prop
after a few crashes the motor start acting up than died the gut was cheapy made
beside the easy star is throw to type , I like landing gears
I still have apply for my AMA card which is $55


I have decide to buy the Sky pilot RTF next mouth.
