SteveM | 17-Feb-08 16:44 | I stumbled across the build thread for this plane last night and had a great time reading through the first 500+ posts. Some day I would like to fly an RC plane like this but understand that even though I don't like the looks of the Tyro, it would make a better first RC flier/trainer. Any chance the MM P-38 or Hellcat would be ok first fliers of should I start with the Tyro? |
jgood | 19-Feb-08 17:28 | Hey Steve. The Hellcat was my first aileron aircraft. The P-38 my second. The Tyro might be a better choice because it's a bit tougher and goes together quicker, but I think the Hellcat is also a fine choice, and it has that scale thing going for it. They all fly marvelously (Mike Molt wisely increased dihedral and tail size on the F4F and P-38 to improve stability), although the P-38 is no performance maching on the stock IPS motors. The Hellcat is fine on the IPS, and a rocket machine on a small CD-ROM motor. Go for the Hellcat! The Tyro comes into it's own as a utility machine for me, carrying my camera. The steerable nose wheels on the P-38 and Tyro really make for nice ground handling, something that adds to the whole touch and go fun you can have with these. |
