Looks like the next Plane to be Citabria... from Kyosho, Parkzone.

It looks too much like the Cessna. I would rather have a biplane or a warbird.

Lack of models for the gear is not an issue. Every thing from peanut to walnut or dime scale seems to be made to order. Of course, there maybe some assembly required[X(]

All these have the Minium radio gear. The Skyray takes abut an hour and a half to build, the Albatross took a day and a half (after the graphics were done), and the Aircamper took a week...

Thanks, drdoom

I wish I had your skills. It would take me days to build the skyray and then I would be lucky if it flew. Will your Skyray do barrel rolls?

Mike Taylor

My Feedback: (1)

Yes, it will roll, barrel and axial, and it will even fly inverted. There are only 5 parts to it, a wing, two elevons cut from the wing, and 2 pieces of the fuselage, plus a few bit and scraps to firm up the motor mount area. The wheels are un-needed since the prop is too big to let it ROG anyway... The plans are here (I made a few changes to mine, but the version as built from the plans is fine): http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=740150

Mike, have you flown your cessna inverted? The only way I get mine inverted is to get it high, start an outside roll and catch the plane inverted. My longest intentional inverted flight was only 25' or so. A little rudder and it rolled back easily. My longest inverted flight was yesterday, the wind flipped the plane and I went about 50' while inverted, trying to get the plane back under control. I ended up cutting the power and using a lot of rudder and some elevator to get that back. That was a bit of a pucker moment. The kids however loved it[:@].

Yes, I have had the Cessnas inverted. I found the easiest was to pull a half-loop, then feed in down to keep it flying. It seems to get real stabile inverted and I have had to exit with another half-loop.

FERNDALE AIR FORCE

Duh, yes I gues a regular loop would be easier. OK, out to the woodshed I go[].

Cool a citabria. I am currently training for my private pilots license in one of these. Glad I held out. wonder whats next...hellcat (cough)

I saw the Citabria on the Kyosho site a while back but no mention of Parkzone offering it. I did see that Kyosho will offer 'suitable' HIGH WING planes tho. When the body on my Minium gives out the guts are going into a Plantraco Micro Racer.
