Attached is a list of planes that my friend and I have had. I think it is all of them, but I may have missed one or two. I have written a few words about each.
One thing that really bothers me is when people call a plane a pice of junk. Typically there will be 4 or 5 posts saying how wonderfull a plane is, and then someone will com on and say that it is
. I do not think that everyone realizes that other's comments on airplanes need to be taken in context. There are several factors that go into a person's satisfaction with a plane aside from the plane itself, and these need to be considered:
1) The experience, style and expectations of the person.
2) How the plane is set up, particullarly power system and weight. An airplane with a heavy motor and battery will be fast, but will it be aerobatic?
3) Trim. Has the person spent the time and energy to trim it properly? The charactor of a plane can change tremendously just with small changes in cg.
That being said, in the following table I tried to give enough information to determine how you might like that particular airplane based on your flying style.
I would consider myself an intermediate. I usually go home with little or no repairs. I like to fly aerobatics and am adding 3D moves. I do not like to just fly fast all over the sky. At least not usually. I am working on flying slower and closer in, though I do like Big Sky aerobatics and tumbling.
