Next multiplex bird?

ZSimon · Aug 17, 2011, 01:01 PM

Hey guys, I'm wondering which MPX bird I should get next.

I have a Xeno and Easystar currently, could you recommend me one that would be okay with my spare rimfire motor ?

Not to self bump, but is the Twinstar II discontinued?

If you´ve flown Easy Star then a natural step up might perhaps be an Easy Glider Pro it´s such fun too fly, I fly mine at least once a day, can´t get enough

you´ll love it it´s a real blast !

I was considering easyglider.

is it a bit more 'active' than easystar?

and how is gemini? more like 3d/aerobatics?

I'll second that. The Gemini is a nice flying airplane, not really 3D, but very aerobatic and fun to fly.

okay guys, I've narrowed it to the Gemini and Funcub (those floats look damnnn fun in winter).

tough choice....I would think Funcub would need a bigger, slower motor though to really enjoy it.

Well, if you are flying the Xeno, I would just go ahead and get the new offering from Multiplex, the Dogfighter. There is a thread in the Foamies/Kit board.

As for the Gemini, mine was fun but the landing gear where a huge bother. Bad design on landing gear; same as with the MiniMag, a great plane but poor landing gear design.
