Hi everybody, im from Mexico so sorry for my english i think im not very good .

This is my first "post" or thread.

Ive benn flying for almost a year, now im going to begin learning at IMAC.

I need help! i dont know what plane choose. I knew that any plane is legal for Basic, I had an Showtime 90, now i dont, i sold it. But now im looking for something good for IMAC. Just that i cant find something good for an OS 160FX

Any 1/4 scale Cap, Edge, Extra, Sukhoi, Yak would do outstanding with that motor.

I agree, I always thought the Extreme Flight 74" would be a good match for that motor. I have a YS 140 in a QQ 73", flies real good and is a great entry level IMAC plane.

Thank you.

A lot of people tell me what planes i could use but no one recomend me something more specific.

What can you tell me about the new Katana S120 from Sebart? theyre having it next year

I was looking at extreme flight yak 74", but i think that with the OS 160 i wouldnt make 3d... i think im not going to be able to hover. I also want one for 3D

The guys flying the EF 74" are ending up with planes around 12.5 to 13 lbs with a gas motor on the front. The 160 would allow that plane to come in well under 12 lbs., sounds like a pretty good 3D combo to me, but what do I know, I fly Pattern

I haven't heard anything about the Sebart yet, so I can't comment on that plane.

Boulder, sounds pretty good about the final weight with the 160, surely its gonna be less weight. Im going to look at it

Also, you recomend me any 1/4 plane, i know, any extra, edge, cap, sukhoy or wathever; but which one being more specific are the best ones

Ive just looked at extremeflight.com and there they offer a combo with the OS 160 so now i ca think its perfect for it

I wish I could comment on a 1/4 scale for you, I've no experience with that size airplane so I don't have any recommendation's for you.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful with that.

I had one of the older 1/4 Cap 232 from H-9. It was a rocket with the 1.60.

I think the EF stuff would be good also becuase they are typically light.

I haven't really looked at planes in that size range for a long time since moving up to 35% and 40%.


Anyone else out there help?
