since i have moved to montana, i have had a lot of life changes. a new lifestyle, a new job, new people, lots of new wind, but one thing that hasn't changed is my lust for aircraft and the passion i have for anything that can overcome gravity. in my R/C journey i have gone from an unsuccessful nitro trainer, to a fully electric fleet of micros and one tried and truly amazing corsair. i wouldn't have traded the way i learned the hobby for anything and the folks here on flitetest have been wonderful and more than informative. and due to the fact that i have a strong belief that this is a truly wonderful and honest group of people i find myself turning to you all again for my questions and ask for more wisdom and hard learned facts.
i am debating attempting to expand my flight envelope yet again into the world of nitro powered planes.
here is what i want;
im not looking for a trainer "type" plane. they aren't appealing to the eye and i feel like i could outgrow it too quickly.
i need something to handle wind well. as i know flying in the wind is an acquired skill as much as it relies on what your plane can handle the area i live in is extremely windy, which limits my flying quite a bit. an average day here is a 15 mph wind.
im not sure if i want sport or scale.
im not sure on the size.
and my price range for the plane, equipment, and tools is around 600 dollars and hopefully i can get into something for around that but the cheaper the better for a starter.
gotto be at least a 4ch a 5 or 6ch is fine too.
my time frame for this is gonna be a couple months before i get anything but hopefully i can start soon.
thanks for the help guys (and gals? lol)
