I have only returned to this hobby for the last 2 years (childhood dream ) and my only problem is I live in the city now. When i was a kid in the country it was easy to find fields of land, and you could go as big as you wanted. I don't have that anymore so I am craving a small stable airplane that also has some complexity.
I would like to see a 4 channel plane that can fit in a shoebox and be flown comfortably within the area of a smaller football or baseball field. Everyone says that tech is the reason drones have become so big, but everyone forgets the other reason is because they are small and can be flown in small areas. When 2 people live in a 700 square foot apartment, a plane with a 30" WS seems a whole lot bigger than it really is.
I also imagine a good many people outside the city would like a car friendly plane. Something that fits nicely in a smaller protective box (shoebox) thats kept in the trunk or back seat, and when you pass a nice park on the way home, hop out for 30 minutes to tool around. The more dramatic of an ordeal to go flying the less people will go. We live in an age of convenience, and drones have shown the importance of this. I want planes to do this also.
I am sure this topic has been brought up before, I saw one about motorcycles and flying, which this fits as well. I registered here just to get this off my chest. I am a big fan of the show and want to buy one of their planes, but I can't find one i feel comfortable with right now.
