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!

Since you have flown some, a 4 Star might be the way to go.

I would also think the 4* would be a good one.

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.

The skyraider mach2 looks like a good one..
What about nitromodels cessna 182 40size?

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!

murdoc - it really very much depends on what you want ... if you love scale then yeah the Cessna is lovely.

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":D

Oh, btw:) Is my english horrible? I am working on it, but it is hard you know!
