I use a spektrum dx6i. Grass runway. Probably around 1.5 meter wingspan is roughly how big I can transport. I will need to buy a battery as I don't have that many, mainly 3 cells varying in amps.
Yeah I have seen them and had them reccomended before. They look nice but it's too similar to the apprentice I have to vouch spending the money on. I'm looking at a carbon z cub as a potential high wing candidate purely for it's stol characteristic and the fact that it is based off a real plane. I do like the fact that you can turn the flaps to full wing length ailerons on the timbre though.
I meant carbon cub s+
I had figured, I mean look for some used planes you never know what people are selling. Man I would love one of those carbon z cubs!
Oh yeah me too but dream on...
FMS 1700mm Super Cub. 250 USD for a BNF. I looovvveee mine.
Man, I want one of the carbon z cubs so bad! I was thinking about the timber X for a while but the carbon-z cub knocked it out of first place. Still not sure if I want to spend 400+ on a plane when I could spend $250 for the super cub that @whackflyer has or an Arrows Husky... The carbon-z cub is going to be a lot more aerobatic though which is a huge plus to a guy who likes 3D like me...
Yeah it would be cool but think about how difficult it is to transport because it is so big
Yeah, that is very true. I have the space to fly/store/transport a larger plane like that so it's not a big issue for me.
If you'd prop down, get a bigger ESC, and go 4s on the tundra you could hover I think. It's pretty aerobatic, quite a lot more then my Cub, but it's smaller and not as scale of a plane to fly. You can do simple aerobatics with the Cub, it has plenty of power, so that's not a problem, but stuff like inverted takes some guts to do because you can recover very fast.
The Durafly Tundra is also a very solid all around plane, cheap, and it runs on 2200 3s batteries.
