Hey guys, I am stuck with what plane to get next. i first flew a electrafun (pod n boom pusher), and i am now currently flying a MiniMag by Multiplex on brushless. i am torn as to what will be my next plane. i want something stable at slow and high speeds, 4-channels, aerobatics possible (loops,rolls,inverted etc), foam or balsa doesnt bother me.flys well in brushed but is easily upgraded to brushless at a later date and must resemble a plane and be midly scale like.
Hereare the planes i was thinking of: eflite mini pulse xt, e-flite p-47, e-flite extra 260 profile(any other profile foamies), or any other easy flying warbird like the eflite p-47.
regards,
dave

I know its not scale but what about the Eflite mini Ultra Stick? Honestly Ive nver seen the plane in flesh, but it does look like a good step up, and it can be pushed to suit an expert.

nah im not a big fan of the looks. it really is ugly but maybe ill see when i talk to the LHS.

dave

It depends on how big a step you want to make. For a small step up, go with the Mini UltraStick. I totally agree with you that its an ugly looking plane, and although I got two used ones in a deal on the internet, I have resisted assembling and flying them for exactly that reason. However, they are the most popular plane with the intermediate and expert flyers at my field and at any given time there may be three or four of them in the air. They fly absolutely great, but I can't get over how much I dislike their appearance.

Another great plane for you to consider is the ParkZone Typhoon or Typhoon2. Start with the transmitter set to low rates and just fly it like a regular plane, without trying to do anything fancy. It doesn't fly too fast, has terrific response to the controls, and has tons of power to get you out of trouble. The only draw back is that it flies so well upside down, that its very easty to loose orientation. For this reason, everyone at my field that flies one (there are seven of us) has either painted it different colors or added Day-glo tape to the wings to help distinguish the top from the bottom. If you want to go for more speed, consider the Stryker. If you are set on a war-bird, the E-flite P-47 is one of the best. Another good one seems to be the newest PZ warbird, the Spitfire. The new PZ T-28 Trojan looks like it should be a great plane, but it has not been made available yet.
