Hi everyone. I am new to this forum but have spent a lot of time over at RCGroups (mostly as a lurker). I have built and flown some 3 channel profile foam designs (Blu-baby, FT flyer, Blu-51) and a simple KF flying wing. I want to move up to a better looking plane (ie full fuse instead of profile) with some real aerobatic potential. I want something that can keep me challenged, but can also fly very slow when I want to chill.
I am trying to choose between a baby blender or a FT spitfire. I watched the review and build videos for each multiple times but I can't seem to make up my mind. Between these, which would make the best aerobatic trainer? Which has the most potential for aerobatics as I grow? Which is going to be the most durable? People seem to use the term "scale like flight" when talking about the Spit. Does that mean that it will be less capable for aerobatics?
The baby blender seems like the logical choice (and that is the way I am leaning), but I do like the looks of the Spitfire a little more.
I am planning to use the NTM Prop Drive Series 28-26A 1200kv motor with a 1300mA 3cell for either. Will the spitfire balance OK with a 1300? I read in another thread that you need at least a 2200mAh to balance it properly. I am going to scratchbuild, so if that is the case, should I just move the wing location of the spitfire back about 1/2" so I can balance it with the 1300?
Thanks for you help!
