Re: Recommendations for Plane #2?

Yeah, like coordinating aileron and rudder <sigh>.

Ted shuffled out of his cave and grunted these great (and sometimes not so
great) words of knowledge:

If you decide to go with a "Bee", DO NOT GET AN ARF !!! The ARFs are the
biggest piece of sh*t I have ever seen. Get a kit or some plans and
scratch build one.

In a perfect world, plane #2 would need less room than the Firebird -
you can't get access to a soccer field or baseball diamond around here
except at midnight. Hand launch is probably a good idea.

I've built lots of models, so kit or arf isn't an issue.

Lazy Bee ! They are a blast, and very slow and forgiving.

It will handle the wind, too, but only 3 channel. (no ailerons; the
rudder makes it turn and bank automatically) That might be good to help
you unlearn the full sized bad habits!

Most full sized pilots say that RC is much harder. Having the turn and
elevator on the same stick would probably be a good thing for you.
