Default Decent Plane??

Hi, this is my first post here, and I need a little info. Does anybody have any experience with this plane off eBay? Here's a link. [link=http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Radio-Remote-RTF-4CH-P51-mustang-Airplane-RC-Plane_W0QQitemZ6054717578QQcategoryZ2563QQrdZ1QQcm dZViewItem]P-51 parkflyer[/link] It looks almost like a knockoff from the parkzone model. This one does include what looks like a Futaba Skysport 4 radio, so maybe a little more bang for your buck there. I'm about to move to the big city, and I'm looking for something I can take to the park after work without having to load up the big boys to get to the club field.


By the way, here's a little background about me if you care to read. I've been flying every once in a while for about ten years now, just getting back into it for real. Engineering senior design project was to design and build a heavy lift R/C plane, so that really relit my fire. I got back onto the trainer easily, now I'm flying my project plane (8' span, .61 engine, weighs 30 lbs. when loaded up) and a sweet 55" pattern ship with a .75. I've flown glow power only, never electrics, but I'm obviously looking into them. Really neat concept to have a plane to toss into the back seat and play with at the ball fields for a few minutes.

not like parkzone, more like a GWS. They all fly nicely, albeit a little low on power but it can be good since warbirds bever did 3D. I actually liked the GWS ones since it was a welcome relief to fly "on the wing" again. You should know, I did the heavy lift thing in college a while back. Good luck.

Check out the E-flite P-47. Several flyers at my field have it and its a terrific flying plane.
