I'm a sucker for Piper Cubs and Warbirds. But. since I am pretty new at flying (successfully), I've been very happy with my Apprentice STOL. I attempted to learn to fly back in the early 1990's, but crashed every plane I tried to fly. Simulators were prohibitively expensive back then, and there was no such thing as AS3x, Safe, or stabilization of any kind. Probably going to build a FT Tudor when I get home from work tonight and fly it for a bit before I try and fly my balsa planes that I have been building over the last few months.
That’s a good plane to learn on! Good choice!
I haven't flown the tutor but I hear it is a good trainer. If you like warbirds the FT swappable Spitfire is an amazing design. You can find most of the free FT plans here:
+1 on Spitfire.
Nice to meet you. I have been checking out the Birmingham RC club's site, I am going to try and make it up to the field to meet some people and possible join the club soon (hopefully). I've been pretty busy with work and family commitments recently, but I'm hoping to have more free time soon. I'm only about an hour from B'ham, so the drive isn't bad at all.
So far, the possibility is looking good. My wife doesn't fly (yet), but she loves watching me fly, and loves the Flite Fest YT videos I've showed her. So, as long as I can get work covered, I think I can talk her into going. I'm hoping that she will decide to give it a try when she sees how much fun everyone is having!
